I've always wanted to visit the conservatories in Chicago. I only know of three:
None of them are convenient for me to visit but I stumbled upon the Lincoln Park one while exploring the Gold Coast last weekend. Gosh, what a gem it was!
The minute I stepped in, I tried to take as many deep breaths as possible, soaking in all the oxygen-rich air.
The conservatory was bigger than I imagined. It had a few big exhibits that you could walk through. The whole time, I felt like I was in a rainforest, a completely different world than the one outside the conservatory walls. I think I've found my new escape.
