06 Garden Park Conservatory
The Garden Park Conservatory aims to explore the relationship between people and plants and has been doing so for more than 100 years. There's nowhere else quite like this urban oasis. Admission is free and allows you to explore seven different rooms, including the Fern Room for a glimpse of what Chicago may have looked like millions of years ago and the Show House where they put on gorgeous seasonal flower displays. There are also 12 acres of outdoor gardens and a children's garden to keep you busy.
