Day Trips in Chicago

"The North Shore suburb of Glencoe has one of the country’s most stunningly beautiful gardens. The best thing to do is just stroll through the different landscapes that have been created here, taking in the stunning plant and animal life. That said, there are also some great workshops and other events. Admission is completely free, although parking is expensive.You’ll find plenty of places for lunch in Glencoe, from Guildhall to the Prairie Grass Cafe. From downtown you can catch a Metra train that will get you close, then either take the free shuttle or walk just under a mile to the gardens along a beautiful trail." - MATADOR_NETWORK
