Olbrich Botanical Gardens combines outdoor display gardens with the indoor Bolz Conservatory in Madison.
The Royal Thai Pavilion and its surrounding garden offer a particularly distinctive part of the landscape, while different planting areas create reasons to move slowly through the grounds.
Plan for both outdoor walking and the conservatory if your time allows, and check whether each area has the same admission arrangements. Displays and seasonal events can change access. The conservatory has a scheduled closure on October 26, 2026, so consult the garden calendar before choosing a date.
