The summer shows at Phipps Conservatory are always bright and vibrant, and 2025's Summer Flower Show goes animal with the theme Jungle Quest!

Go on a floral safari while seeing some stunning animals of the Serengeti, forest, and more in this one!

As with all flower shows at Phipps Conservatory, we do not like to give away what you can see at all the rooms. So in this one, we wanted to share a few of our favorites. To see the rest, well, you'll have to visit for yourself!

The Palm Court

The Palm Court is the first room you see after entering Phipps with your ticket, and it is often the tone-setting room for every show. For Jungle Quest, you are instantly greeted by a massive orangutan plus other smaller ones hanging overhead- looking like they're playing in the jungle!

We often love it when the designs challenge you to look all over the room to spot every last detail, and you get just that in The Palm Court!

The Serpentine Room

the Serpentine Room

The Serpentine Room is always a favorite in any flower show due to its unique, windy design. In Jungle Quest, you get to experience crocodiles, flamingos, and more in a stunning semi-aquatic scene!

South Conservatory

As one of the largest rooms at Phipps Conservatory, the South Conservatory is a fun one as you can make a full loop around the exhibit. Naturally, the majestic elephant takes center stage in this room, and has a commanding presence around a watering hole.

Be sure to check the interactive experience here (as well as in other rooms), as the trigger for the elephants is quite fun- be sure to hang on a few seconds longer for it to fully run through the experience, too!

The Stove Room

Butterflies in the Stove Room

Although not themed for the Summer Flower Show, The Stove Room is always a favorite this time of year as it returns as the Conservatory's butterfly sanctuary! Check out butterflies in a gorgeous habitat as they fly amongst the stunning flowers.

As always, Phipps blew our expectations away with Jungle Quest, and we highly recommend visiting to check out this stunning show!

Jungle Quest at Phipps Conservatory runs through September 21st, 2025. Please note that advanced purchase, timed tickets are recommended.

After visiting the show, be sure to take a walk around Schenley Park!
