garfield park conservatory

A few weeks ago, when my aunt was still in town, we visited the Garfield Park Conservatory.

Chicago has lots of tourist attractions and although the conservatory is not on on one of those "top places to visit" lists- I think it should be.

It's a beautiful place- the website refers to it as "landscape art under glass" and it really is. These are only a few of the many pictures I took that day.








Did I mention that entrance to the Conservatory is free? They gladly accept donations- but this outing will not break the bank.

I especially love visiting during the winter- nothing like entering the warm Palm Tree room when the weather outside is below zero.

You know, all my years in Chicago and I've never gone there. Will do by year's end or I'll . . . I don't know, go next year maybe. Thanks for the reminder of all our hidden gems.
