Sightseeing
The most beautiful park in the city, in my opinion. Get lost in the weeping willows, the superb landscaping, the sweeping views of the river, Pagoda, the city and bridges of Chicago. Your can walk, kayak, bike, and jog here blissfully. Grabbing a water taxi and heading downtown is a beautiful ride, and a must-do for locals and tourists alike.

A beautiful Oasis in Garfield Park, steps away from the Green Line, and with ample parking, this conservatory is especially inviting in the winter months, but a true delight at any time. Lose yourself in the ferns, the tropical flowers and palms soaring up into the beautiful glass domed greenhouse roof.
