Visiting the Greenhouses:With one of the most diverse plant collections in the northeastern United States, the Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Greenhouses are an exciting destination in eastern Connecticut.We welcome drop-in visitors to come have a look around to see what's new and also offer guided tours for school age children and special groups. If you are interested in making a day of it and would like to know what other reasons there are to come to UConn there are many - sporting activities, museums, the dairy bar just to name a few.
| Planning your VisitOn Your Own:We are located on the main campus of the University of Connecticut at Storrs, CT. (directions) Our facility is located behind the Torrey Life Sciences building and is open to the public Monday thru Friday from 8 AM until 4 PM. We are closed weekends and most state holidays. Parking is limited on the Storrs campus and we advise visitors to park in the North Parking Garage (NPRK on campus map). Upon exiting the garage, walk along Auditorium Road past the Jorgensen Auditorium and past the greenhouses. Enter via the door on the far side where the greenhouses connect to Torrey Life Sciences. Our staff is generally on-hand to answer any questions you may have or help you find a plant you wish to see.
Organized Tours:Organized tours of our facility are available to school groups, garden clubs and other interested groups during the week. These are typically about an hour in length and led by Greenhouse Staff or EEB Graduate Students. A fee is charged for these tours.
Groups coming by bus can be dropped off on Glenbrook Road near the Central Utility Plant (CUP on campus map) and follow the walkway down to the greenhouses visible from the dropoff point. Buses should park in 'C' Lot on North Hillside Road until it is time to pick up your group.
