A must-see Wyoming destination, the Shane Smith Grand Conservatory features a lush, tropical plant collection (including a 34-foot tall palm tree), an elegant, Baroque-style Orangerie, and a special bonsai house located on the third floor balcony. Spend your time lingering in this tropical paradise, relax on the rooftop, or check out the conservatory’s one-of-a-kind Navy submarine periscope for glorious views of the city.
