The plan was to go to the Planetarium, but when we woke to beautiful, sunny, spring-like Chicago weather my husband suggested we visit the Botanical Gardens instead. There are over 385 acres with 24 different specialty garden areas, 15 acres of prairie,100 acres of woods and 8 lagoons. Although in late March, much of the gardens and flowers were dormant (with the exception of the greenhouse), but it was still a showcase of natural beauty! We loved strolling through the winding paths and exploring the different gardens. As beautiful as it was in it's dormant early spring season, we will definitely return when it is in it's full bloom!
