Winter flower show transforms Phipps
Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, 1 Schenley Park, Pittsburgh, has transformed with the arrival of the Holiday Magic! Winter Flower Show and Light Garden.
Phipps’ 14-room glasshouse and 23 distinct gardens are filled with the inspiration of the holidays, with more gleaming indoor and outdoor lights, expanded flower displays and miniature trains in Phipps’ Garden Railroad.
New Timed Tickets allow guests to book their visit entry time at phipps.conservatory.org. The show runs through Jan. 7, with Timed Tickets required during peak times. Once guests enter Phipps to experience Holiday Magic!, they may stay until closing.
LED lights, decorated fir and pine trees, amaryllis, orchids, and over 2,000 poinsettias have been installed. This year’s displays also feature new vignettes, including an abundant winter feast, Santa’s workshop, New Year’s Eve celebration and more.
One ticket gives guests access to the Winter Flower Show, Winter Light Garden and plus Garden Railroad: Treasure Island. This year’s new train exhibit includes a treasure hunt, pirate jokes and more. Interactive push buttons set miniature locomotives chugging through an island filled with plants, water features and detailed pirate props.
