Shamrock Night at Phipps
Celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Pittsburgh's green glasshouse!
Looking for Friday night fun? You're in luck! On Fri., March 14, Shamrock Night at Phipps invites guests to view the Conservatory illuminated in green, listen to festive music echo throughout the glasshouse, take a sneak peek at our in-progress Spring Flower Show installation (before its official opening on March 22) and tour the new Tropical Forest Panama exhibit.
The fun doesn't stop there! The first 100 guests to arrive at 5 p.m. or later can receive a complimentary 2-inch Oxalis plant by inquiring at our admissions desk. Oxalis is beloved for its shamrock-like leaves and bright white flowers, making it a lovely addition to your houseplant roster. Plus, there's a special treat for a guest with the luck of the Irish on their side: if you preorder your tickets online, you'll be automatically entered into a drawing to win two season passes to our four-part Jazz in the Garden concert series this summer!
Phipps is open until 10 p.m. on Shamrock Night. Admission is $22.95 for adults, $20.95 for seniors, $19.95 for students, and $13.95 for children (2 – 18). Members and kids under 2 enter free.
