Self-Guided Audio Tour

Discover interesting facts about history, design, plants, mechanical infrastructure and other behind-the-scenes elements of the Conservatory through our free hand-held Audio Tour.

Pick up the Audio Tour wand at the information desk inside the Main Conservatory. After a Longwood volunteer gives a brief demonstration, you are free to explore the Conservatory with the wand as a personal guide.

The wands are intended for visitors ages 18 and older or for children with adult supervision. Use of the wands is included in Gardens admission. Currently the wands are programmed in English and in Mandarin Chinese.
