Franklin Conservatory Park

Franklin Conservatory Park has been Ohio's prime botanical garden since 1993, connecting residents with the beauty of nature. Kids can enjoy an immersive outdoor experience at the Conservatory through the summer camp program.

Park authorities split the campers by age grades to tailor each program to fit each child's need. The youngest campers, 3-4, learn about dinosaurs, mythical garden animals, rainbows, plants, along with other fun topics.

Kids between 5-6 get their hands dirty with hands-on science classes that ask campers to create their messiest and most creative experiments. They also learn about art and science while living out history's greatest fairy tales on select days.

The last group, ages 7-8, enjoy classes on subjects like space technology, magic, and paleontology. They get lessons on creating a garden and eating sustainably with garden-sourced food products.
