    Funky - it almost looks like a furry animal. I grew up in Pittsburgh. I used to visit the conservatory often. I've heard there's been a lot of restoration at the park since the last time I was there. Posted 10 years ago

      I love Phipps! I have been there in the spring, summer and fall. They always have so many wonderful displays that I find it takes at least 2-3 hours to get through because I end up going through every room more than one time. I live 3 hours north of Pittsburgh but it's well worth the ride! Thanks for writing! Posted 10 years ago
