The Franklin Park Victorian style conservatory, built in 1895, was under construction during our visit so we didn't get to see it. The newer section has a narrow path climbs through the different levels, up to the tree tops, and back down again. Wheelchair users may need assistance.
The garden itself has just two sections, a large children's area and a plaza with sculptures and an outdoor model railway. There's also a hot shop with glassblowing demonstrations. Since we visited in the fall there weren't many flowers but we did enjoy the Halloween decorations.
The gardens are a bit underwhelming and expensive (we used our pass so it was free for us) for the size. I recommend visiting the free 88 acre park that surround the gardens. Walking trails and closed off roads wind around under hundreds of trees.
