Conservatory of Flowers

Yesterday I toured the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. Five dollars gets you in and consists of five flower habitats: Aquatic Plants, Highland Tropics, Lowland Tropics, Potted Plants, and Special Exhibits. The Special Exhibits room was the most fun and included a train set assembled around plants.

Getting to what's important, is this a good place for a first date? Well, if you're a lesbian, I do recommend the Potted Plant room. I'm convinced that this quiet sanctuary is a cruising room for single lesbian females. Aside from that room, gay or straight, the building itself is small and not conducive to first date conversation. After all, you're already nervous and paranoid on a first date, you don't need a small and quiet plant sanctuary -- where everyone can hear your conversation -- contributing to your anxiety. If you're already in love and have a lot of money, renting out the building for a wedding is available and a magical way to spend an evening.

All-in-all, the Conservatory of Flowers is a relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Hours of operation:
Tuesday - Sunday, 9:00AM - 5:00PM
