GLENCOE.   Located in a suburb 25 miles from the city, these gardens are well worth the drive. See recreated prairies, Japanese gardens, and giant topiaries, along with more than 20 other gardens. An added attraction is the Bee Line, a glass case that features over 10,000 pollinating bees. Managed by the Chicago Horticultural Society, this 400-acre preserve is also home to lagoons, waterways, and various botanical environments.   (© 10Best)

The Botanic Gardens are well worth the easy drive from downtown Chicago. Straight up the expressway, it was easy to find and well worth the $5 parking. While I'm not one to frequent places like this.. it was awesome. Even people not interesting in flowers and gardening (me) will enjoy the different gardens, waterfalls, and information. The variety and design of the Gardens was captivating. You could easily spend the entire day walking around the well groomed paths and admiring the flowers--the place is HUGE. This is a great break from the high energy hustle and bustle of a visit to Michigan Ave.
