There are lots of trails and nature to enjoy at the arboretum!
Personally we have never ventured here, but the reviews are wonderful for those with kiddos!
We frequent the riverwalk before or after meals and on shopping trips! Lots to explore and places to sit and enjoy the views.
Very educational place! And if we're lucky they may have some events around Labor Day!
Downtown Chicago is less than an hour away! There is plenty to do and see, and lots of food and drink in the city!
