Botanical Conservatory officially reopens

The Centennial Botanical Conservatory has officially reopened after a multi-year restoration effort.

With the second phase of the restoration, which focused on the main building, complete, the main building’s Tropical Main House, Desert Wing, and Multi-Purpose wing can now be accessed by the public.

The city has announced that the conservatory will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday year-round.

Bookings for private events are expected to open in February, with the first available booking date planned for February 17.

Though the conservatory is now open, a third phase of restoration is still planned, which will expand the building’s grounds with gardens, outdoor venues, multi-use paths, and stormwater ponds.
