Has anyone been to the newly revamped Lamberton Conservatory? We visited today.

The exterior looks much nicer - but I didn't think the inside offered much of anything new to write home about. And it's now $3 to get in. :down: Just wondered if anyone else had an opinion.

I've never been there. I'd like to go sometime this summer.

Didn't feel like it made a huge difference. Still very much enjoyed going, the spring flowers were beautiful. Just expected more of a change, I guess. Usually go a couple times a year to the consevatory, go to Highland at least once or more a week this time of year.

Dave, now that you mention it - there was more light in the revamped section. It didn't seem as overgrown....and there was a turtle basking in the sunshine this afternoon. The outdoor goldfish (not sure if that's the correct name for them) water was very, very murky. I'd never seen it like that.

$3 :down: They have been charging for three years/ It was a dollar, then two then three. I knew when they started charging a dollar, they would just raise it every year. Not worth it for a family to go through anymore.

I didn't know this until recently - but you can become a member for $10 which gets you unlimited visits for a year. I took them up on it. Watching the turtles (I don't know how many are there, but I counted 7 at once - probably more hiding ) alone is worth the price for me!
