Step into the reopened Palm Houses for an opportunity to be totally immersed in nature. An oasis in the city, filled with ferns, palms, and breathtaking glass-domed roofs.
Discover rare and threatened species like the Norfolk Island tree fern (Sphaeropteris excelsa), whose natural habitat has drastically reduced, and can reach up to 20 metres high in the wild.
Although there's still lots of work ahead, including restoring our Front Range glasshouses, which are still closed to the public, we're so excited to welcome you back to our iconic Palm Houses.
Look carefully among the unfurling, hairy fronds of the Mexican tree fern (Cibotium regale). Around 1,000 ladybirds have been introduced to help protect the plants from other insects, so see how many you can spot.
Whether you're seeking a moment of calm, a family day out, or a chance to explore something new, the Palm Houses are back, and waiting for you.
