Chicago Botanic Garden

The Garden is a place of ever-changing natural beauty that makes each visit unique. Enjoy a walk through the English Walled Garden’s six distinct rooms or through the beautiful Crescent. See the majestic great blue herons soar along the water's edge. Summer evening hours end September 1, so enjoy a carillon concert, an outdoor meal, or Grapes & Hops before the summer’s over.

If the plants go, we go. Thirty percent of the world's plants are threatened with extinction by 2050. Learn more about what the Garden is and will be doing to save the world's plants at the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Plant Conservation Science Center.
