10 Lincoln Park Conservatory
Another beautiful place to experience nature in Chicago is the Lincoln Park Conservatory. It's made up of four display houses: the Show House, Orchid House, Palm House, and Fern Room. There's also a Lily Pool which was recently restored and named a National Historic Landmark. Drop-in tours are available for visitors all year round, even on holidays, and guided tours of the Lily Pond and surrounding wildflowers are available seasonally.
