Cantigny Park

This is one of the best parks in the Chicago suburban area, in my opinion. It is truly stunning in the summer, with so many flowers blooming. Parking - Ample paid parking space is available. $5 on weekdays. $10 on weekends. What to do - Walk around and take in the flowers and different varieties of plants. There’s a picnic area where you can bring food and have fun with family/friends. There are army tanks on display, starting from the tanks used during First World War to the ones more recently used. In the summer, I have seen concerts happening inside the park, which is super fun! They also have banquet halls and I’ve seen weddings, proms happen here. Do not miss seeing the memorial of Amy & Robert McCormick. Amenities - Drinking water stations are available. There’s a cafe inside the visitors centre. Restrooms are clean and nicely maintained. Overall, one could easily spend about 2 hours exploring this beautiful park. Highly recommend visiting between June - onset of Fall.

Huge beautiful park, So much to see. There are exhibits are incredible. I brought my kids and will definitely bring my family too. Bring something to drink because it’s so big and you will get thirsty.

Beautiful gardens and ever changing so it's a great place to visit frequently. Parking is 5 on weekdays and 10 on Weekends. The Alebrijes are beautiful and must see. There is always something to see and do!!! Restrooms through out the park are clean and well kept with water bottle filling stations at the visitor center. We did not visit the First Division Museum this time but it is excellent and a can't miss.

Wow! This place is stunning! Had the opportunity to shoot a wedding here in 2021 and was amazed by the venue. The landscaping was immaculate with luscious gardens, abundant ivy archways, and large trees. There were nice paths throughout so the bride did not have to worry about getting her dress muddy. I also loved the wide concrete stairways out by the gardens. The couple had their ceremony at a church nearby and then party-bused it over for bridal party shots and couple portraits. The couple was all smiles all day even though it was a classic Indiana summer day - 100 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. The pushed through the heat for their portraits and I am so glad they did! On days like this, it is nice to have lots of shaded areas around the venue to take little breaks. 5/5 for landscaping 5/5 for venue being accommodating to any request that I had 5/5 for uniqueness as a wedding venue Cannot rave enough! If you are thinking about booking your wedding here - do it!
