"You will surely become (if already not one) a nature lover once you visit this place. It’s a place for all ages. You can find systematic display of plants according to the weather conditions they grow in. There is a display of a huge flower that blooms once every 12 years. I was lucky to have visited the place when the flower was in its full bloom. A fabulous experience it was."
"The Park is large and lovely, and the Conservatory does not disappoint. Beautiful place to visit or take someone on a date. Love the gardens outside and all the lawn chairs. People lounging, reading, painting, having a picnic. It's was just perfect."
"Worth a visit. Interesting experience, there are different sections with different plants and each section/room of the building has curresponding temperature, humidity, light good for the plants placed there. One section can be chill and pleasant for humans, another is really hot and humid. Mist visit and feel that!"
"Interesting visit with lots of exotic, unique, colourful flowers and plants. Some of the giant plants are amazing with a wealth of different unique leaves. Warm, humid with real life sounds as you walk through the conservatory. Don’t miss the side walkthroughs too! We spent about 2 hours looking around. Best value tickets if visiting the Botanical & Japanese Gardens as well is the annual membership; otherwise adult ticket is $13. The gardens outside are beautiful too and we enjoyed a picnic lunch watching the autumn plants being planted."
"It is an excellent place for people who enjoy seeing and smelling plants and flowers. It is definitely another level. You can see everything from cocoa plants to aquatic plants. It is a greenhouse so you can feel the warmth in it. Admission is free for San Francisco Residents and the full ticket price is well worth it. Don't forget to take a souvenir"
