The Orchid Show is back at Chicago Botanic Gardens. This year’s theme is Feeling Groovy.
We had such a nice time at the India Blooms Orchid Show last year, and we’re looking forward to this year’s display.
Also check out Orchids After Hours for Valentine’s Day or one of their new silent discos :)

The Orchid Show
February 7 – March 22, 2026
Daily, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Let the sunshine in
Rewind to the ‘60s and ‘70s at the Orchid Show: Feelin’ Groovy where 10,000 vibrant orchids are the hottest thing since bell bottoms. Floor-to-ceiling sunbeams made of cascading orchids light up the room in living color. Lose yourself in a 10-foot lava lamp aglow with colorful blooms, then hit the road as a flower-filled Volkswagen Beetle carries you through a Route 66 daydream. The experience is pure good vibes.
Join us February 6 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. for an exclusive, after-hours first look at this year’s Orchid Show, featuring free light bites, a cash bar, and live music. Separate ticket required.
