Transportation
Garfield Park Conservatory is conveniently located right off the Green Line’s “Conservatory-Central Park Drive” train stop. Navigating Chicago’s CTA (public buses and trains) is straightforward—here’s a resource to plan your route: https://www.transitchicago.com/planatrip/ There’s a free parking lot adjacent to the conservatory with space for about 150 cars. Getting around with Uber, Lyft, or taxis is easy and reliable. Divvy bike share and some scooter share options are available throughout the city. Helmets aren’t provided, so we recommend bringing your own if you plan to bike.
