The glasshouse gets a little wicked on October 29, 2026, when Cocktails at the Conservatory returns with “Spirits & Spells” — Franklin Park Conservatory’s adults-only (21+) night of craft cocktails, costumed flair and after-dark gardens during the Pumpkins Aglow season.
The Conservatory’s cocktail series has become a Columbus date-night institution: themed drinks crafted with local distillers, DJs in the Palm House, and the biomes glowing at night — botanical garden as nightclub, in the best way. Costumes are welcome for the Halloween edition; the conservatory’s hundreds of glowing pumpkins provide the décor.
Tickets for these nights reliably sell out — the series is capped small for a reason.
Cocktails among the orchids, spells among the pumpkins. October 29, grown-ups only.
