Love taking the family here. It always seems to be changing and there are inside gardens to see too. If you don't want to pay for parking see if your library has museum passes and check one our for the Botanic Gardens.
There are so many things to do with the kids here. My kids love running around and exploring. The train area is great and they often have wonderful special exhibits. It is worth the trip from Chicago for those of you who live in the City.
