The Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory On Belle Isle!

Hey all,

This morning, we’re exploring the historic Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory on Belle Isle! Tucked away on a scenic island in the Detroit River, this historic gem offers a vibrant getaway right in the heart of the city.

Before you even step inside, you’re greeted by beautifully manicured formal gardens and elegant fountains—perfect for a peaceful morning stroll. Inside, the grand glass dome houses an impressive collection of plant species from around the globe. You can wander through distinct biomes ranging from arid, cactus-filled desert landscapes to lush, tropical rainforests packed with exotic foliage.

While it’s a quick and intimate venue to explore, it’s a fantastic stop to add to any Detroit itinerary—and an especially great refuge if you’re looking to dodge a rainy day!
