  • Phipps is another of PGH's unique attractions. It's a conservatory--a glass building hosting all manner of plants, and even some butterflies. I've visited many times at different times of the year, and there's always something new and interesting to see. Last year at around this time, it was the corpse plant--I came during the second day it bloomed, and the smell had already faded, but they kept some of the oil in a small vial so that people could smell it (pee-yew!). The winter holidays are a great time to visit, since they string up lights in the courtyard over all the plants--very romantic! The main exhibits include a tropical room, a desert room, a sunken garden, and the main atrium, which is decorated with some Dale Chihuly works that appear like glass flowers in the foliage. There's even a food-themed room specifically for kids. I haven't been lately, but last year during the fall, they had a large dinosaur-themed miniature railroad that was a lot of fun. During the summer, there are also butterflies in one of the rooms, which are fun to watch fluttering around. Of the permanent exhibits, my favorites are the tropical room and the sunken garden--the former because I find the plants most intriguing, and the latter because it's so romantic and soothing. If you enjoy plants, flowers, or nature, you'll love Phipps. I always enjoy my time here, no matter who I come with or what time of year it is. My only minor criticisms are (1) admission is a bit on the pricy side for non-students ($15) and (2) there isn't as much outdoor landscaping as I'm accustomed to at these types of places (I'm from DE, so my standard of comparison is Longwood Gardens). This is a great place to bring out-of-town visitors or for a date, so be sure to swing by to stop and smell the roses! 4.5 stars.
