Olmsted's South Park, the 1894 tri-domed glass conservatory building, and the Victorian-style gardens of plants are found within the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. Some of the year-round highlights are the orchid house, bromeliad house, herb collection, and waterfall. Some of the plants are native to the area but most are native to tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.

The indoor gardens include a fully restored palm dome, an impressive fern house which is home to "life-size" dinosaur topiaries and a koi pond.
The gardens were originally opened for the 1900 Pan American Exposition. The conservatory's unique tri-domed glass, wood and steel design was based upon the famous Crystal Palace and Kew Gardens Palm House in England.
