Rawlings Conservatory

Great self-guided tour of smallish conservatory with good variety of healthy plants. Found out paid guided tours are available. Park ranger was taking a couple on tour on Valentines day.

It's a cool place to go see some plants. They've got 5 rooms with different climates. And they have a pretty dense assortment of different plants loaded into those spaces. My favorite was the rainforest - mainly because it felt the most out of place in the middle of winter Baltimore. The suggested $5 donation for entry feels fair.

We preferred it to the conservatory at Longwood Gardens ($45/person) by a long shot. If you want to refresh your eyes with some beautiful plants, don't miss it.

This place was really nice! Plus it’s free.. Donate if you can if you do decide to go they really keep up with the place you can tell - Nov 2025

Beautiful indoor gardens with several distinct areas to explore. Pleasant staff too.
