Positioned near the shore of Lake Michigan, it is both a conservatory and botanical garden which is always Free!! It is just out side the Lincoln Park Zoo. You will find tropical palms and ancient ferns right in the heart of Chicago especially on cold winter days. Designed both to showcase exotic plants and grow the thousands of plants used in the parks, it has four display houses: Palm House, Fern Room, Orchid House and Show House, which is home to the annual flower shows. This historic facility started in the 1870s and continues to provide an escape to nature. 18 min drive, 39 min transit from our house. http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks/lincoln-park-conservatory/
