Marco Polo Stufano Conservatory
Explore the Marco Polo Stufano Conservatory with fresh eyes! Learn how our greenhouses mimic three types of biomes, or regions of the world with similar climates, plants, and animals. Feel the differences in humidity and temperature from room to room. Pick up a guide at the Family Art Project, Adopt-a-Plant Station, or at the Conservatory. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
The historic entry to the Marco Polo Stufano Conservatory is only accessible via small steps without railings. Its Palm House is the main entry point. The Conservatory’s Tropical House and Cactus & Succulent House also do not have ramp access and must be accessed via steps (approximately 3-5) with pipe railings.
