Ways to Play at Phipps Conservatory
At Let’s Move Pittsburgh, we believe in the importance of daily play! With the first month of spring underway, the many different ways to play at Phipps Conservatory are more exciting than ever! The main conservatory pathway within Phipps Conservatory alone is over 2,500 feet! That’s 2,695.7 feet of space to hop and jump and stroll and wiggle through, to be exact.
In addition to the beautiful main conservatory space, there is also the outdoor play garden, which features the bug hotel, a space designed to be the perfect home for native bugs! This play garden also has a lot of other play spaces and fun activities for kids and adults to interact with like fountains, musical instruments and even a misting station!
