Lincoln Park Conservatory is a Chicago Escape

The Lincoln Park Conservatory is the perfect escape in the middle of the city. You get to warm up in the greenhouse on chilly or rainy days and still be surrounded by nature. The conservatory is completely free, but donations are welcome to fund the park!

You can even bring a book or journal because they provide benches to relax through out. It makes the perfect pit stop if you are wandering around or if you need an intentional escape from the bustling city.
