Touring the Botanical Conservatory in downtown Fort Wayne!

[@Knusperflakes]

Well shot video! I love escaping at the botanical gardens for an hour or 2, especially in the winter.

[@jakeinfortwayne]

Thank you! That means a lot. I’ve already taken my daughters multiple times this year

[@buvkyy]

usually by the conference rooms theres a open room that has art made by locals, but I don’t know if there’s any rn! They also have a small outdoor garden around that area that they have sellable plants during the spring sometimes, other than the giftshop

[@jakeinfortwayne]

Yes I believe they do a big Mother’s Day plant sale. I’m not sure ab the local art but I like that idea!

[@xavierpoindexter8281]

Can you do the south part of town..

[@jakeinfortwayne]

Definitely! I’ve done Foster Park, mcmillen golf course, and Los pacos tacos. But I’ve upgraded my equipment since then. Was there anything specific in mind?

[@hgarcia6934]

Thunderbowl?

What's your opinion on downtown's historic central?

[@jakeinfortwayne]

I suppose I’d need to know what context you’re asking. I’ve always had mixed feelings on historical districts, but overall they can be a good thing.

[@carollykins9475]

The problem with this facility, is that there is some seasonal changes, nothing actually changes. Nothing new. Kinda like science central...same thing same displays.

[@jakeinfortwayne]

Thanks for watching! I think we they changed a few things in the Xmas display from last year but it was definitely similar. If given the opportunity I’ll provide that feedback. Have a great holiday!

[@SexyThyme]

@@jakeinfortwayne certainly anyone chime in, but I need to imagine that it is many times more expensive to change the conservatory exhibits than to use static exhibits. Wish we were ballin like that.

[@jakeinfortwayne]

@@SexyThyme that I cannot speak to. But I do enjoy the variety. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@thegreatWIIMO]

As someone who lives in Fort Wayne….. it’s not that exciting lol

[@jakeinfortwayne]

I suppose what’s exciting is subjective. Personally I’m a big fan and would encourage others to check it out. Hope you find what suits you though!

Great for young kids,, if u r looking for something bigger, go to a bigger city.

[@jakeinfortwayne]

My kids have a blast there. I always enjoy the scenery, especially in winter
