The Chihuly Exhibit At Franklin Park Conservatory Is The Prettiest Thing In Columbus

Want to take a stroll through an actual wonderland? You need to head to Franklin Park Conservatory.

Yes, the conservatory is always dreamy. But right now, it’s extra dreamy because they’re hosting an incredible Chihuly exhibit. Although select pieces of Dale Chihuly’s stunning glass artwork have been at the conservatory for years, it’s been nearly a decade since the full-blown extravaganza has been on display.

Chihuly: Celebrating Nature takes visitors on a journey through the bold and colorful work of Dale Chihuly. The breathtaking pieces are nestled throughout the conservatory in the botanical gardens and courtyards.

You can visit the exhibit daily during Franklin Park Conservatory hours, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exhibit is included in admission. But if you want to make your visit super special, you can head over on Chihuly Nights. On September 13, October 11, and November 8, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. you can admire the intense, vibrant colors of Chihuly: Celebrating Nature when the installations visually transform in the dusk and evening light.

Chihuly Nights Admission rates start at $22 for adult non-members and $11 for adult members. You can get your tickets here.

Chihuly: Celebrating Nature will be on display until March 29, 2020. For more photos of the installations, keep scrolling.
