Stopped in this park with our grandsons on a lark. It was in full bloom beautifully landscapped. There were play areas suitable to a 5 year old and toddler. The children thoroughly enjoyed the play area. We went to an open area to throw frisbees and airplanes and have snacks. There were plenty of picnic tables and benches all around.... More

We stopped here for a break on our way to Dayton, OH. There was an orchid show going on the day we visited and there was a small fee for that. Otherwise, I believe there is no charge to visit. It was cold outside but the temperature was very comfortable in the conservatory while we viewed the beautiful flowers. It... More

Garfield Park is a great place for a walk and enjoy the nice landscaping and green spaces. It has a stream running through it with bridges to walk across, as well as a greenhouse with some very nice plant specimens.

What an amazing find. In spring the flowers are in full bloom. The fountain area has been renovated. This large park makes me proud to say I live in Indy. In summer and fall my family, friends attend live theater outdoors. In winter we always visit the conservatory with some many different plants, the water system throughout, even the music... More

Being used to the botanical gardens in Milwaukee and St Paul, I came away from Garfield Park disappointed. The conservatory is very small and you are done in about 10 minutes. The outside grounds are just OK. I kept looking for "more", but there just wasn't "more".

We visited the end of September. The Conservatory is beautiful, lots of lush plants and a cute waterfall and pond at one end with a bench, perfect for taking a short break. When we visited they were having an orchid exhibit with plants you could purchase. The Sunken Garden was disappointing because the fountains were 'being maintained', apparently for the... More

This is a very beautiful garden and a mature Conservatory with large plants. It is especially beautiful in the summer when the flowers are in bloom. Renovation for this lovely place was funded by Eli Lilly.

The Garfield Conservatory and Sunken Gardens are SE Indy's little secret. Beautiful grounds, lovely roses, quiet atmosphere. Close enough to town you can get there on your lunch hour.
