Cantigny Park

This place is amazing, it's so beautiful and peaceful. There are two museums you can visit, the 1st Division museum (the best one I've ever been to!) And Robert McCormick museum (His mansion). They both were very informative and highly interesting. Lots of vintage relics and antiques to read about. There are 11 tanks spread out in front of the 1st Division museum. The scenery is amazing, so peaceful with great photography spots for any occasion. Also a rose garden with other beautiful plants, trails as well. Perfect place to slow down "and smell the roses".

It's rare to have such a beautiful experience at the low cost of $0 (not including parking). Cantigny Park is lush with beautiful gardens, museums, and various trails. The staff are friendly, and highly knowledgable. I went on Memorial Day 2018, and only had to pay $10 to park in one of their ample lots. The cafe inside the welcome center satiates the urge for a quick bite. Cantigny Park is an ideal place for families, and daytime dates.

The grounds of Cantigny (former estate of Robert McCormick) are a lovely and tranquil place to take a walk. The Idea Gardens, Rose Garden, and Exhibition Gardens are all a treat to walk through for nature lovers, and the McCormick mansion provides something for the architecturally inclined. History bluffs will love the 1st Army Division Museum, detailing the unit's history from WW1 through the Vietnam War. Finish up with a lunch or dinner on the picnic grounds.

Great place to visit. Spring blooms on Mother's Day made my wife very happy. Grounds are perfectly kept up and a new garden with pond is under construction. It will be another great addition to the property. Well worth a visit spring, summer and fall.

The park is always a great place to visit. A great tplaxe to bring kids to let them run around. The tank park is particularly unique and a good attraction for my little ones. I highly recommend it to anybody who enjoys outdoor time .. also worth checking out the special events going on here.
