Thank you for your interest in visiting the Oak Park Conservatory for a school tour. Docents will lead your group through the three showrooms featuring unique climates and plants. Our school tour content is aligned with Illinois State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS) performance expectations.
Tours for students outside of Illinois School District 97 are $2 per student (chaperones are free). We offer a grant to schools serving 40% or more low-income families, according to the
Illinois Report Card. Complete this application to apply for a scholarship covering the cost of tours. If your school is not listed on the Illinois Report Card, additional information will be required. Please note: A
separate form must be completed to request tour dates.
This program is made possible through a grant from the Friends of the Oak Park Conservatory. Grants are on a first-come, first-served basis for qualifying schools, while funds are available.
