Garfield Park Conservatory  

Price: Free


300 N Central Park Ave, Chicago, IL 60624

This place is beautiful....but hot and humid. As you can expect, the Conservatory has to keep the climate like that so the plants can thrive. In fact, it's one of the largest botanical conservatories in the nation. You'll see many exotic plant species, a huge koi pond, and a family of turtles. It's a great activity for all you horticulturalist plant lovers, or just a fun date idea. Oh, plus it's free =)
