Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park serves as home to the world's oldest statute of Abraham Lincoln.  Made by Augustus Saint Gaudens between the years 1884-1887; it depicts Lincoln as a young man before he was historical stuff.

Take a leisurely ride, stroll the lush gardens, enjoy the scenic pond and get fabulous views of Chicago's skyline.

This Chicago park is rated as one of the more beautiful ones in the city and gets quite crowded in summers. The lake front views are a great draw apart from the appealing flora and the picnic areas.

While you are there, visit the conservatory. This well cared for greenhouse was built in the 19th century. Here, the tropical displays are divided into four areas - the Palm House, the Orchid House, the Fernery and the Show House. The conservatory has permanent exhibits and also puts up seasonal shows. See some of the most attractive displays of flowers at this spot. The conservatory displays a large variety of rare plants and flowers.

Lincoln Park is also home to the Lincoln Park Zoo that attracts more than three million visitors each year.

Nearby Chicago attractions include Chicago Historical Society, North Avenue Beach and Steppenwolf Theatre.

When you get hungry, choose from nine kinds of crunchy thin crust pizza at Bricks Chicago (312-255-0851), located a short walk away. Later, catch some live entertainment at Park West, and swing to house tunes. Stay in luxury and style at the nearby 4 star Belden Stratford Hotel.
