Architecture buffs will be well acquainted with Oak Park, once the home of Frank Lloyd Wright, where he designed and built some of his earliest buildings. Unity Temple, the Nathan G. Moore House and Wright's own former home and studio are among the many Wright buildings still preserved in the village, while buildings such as the Cheney Mansion were designed by his students. Oak Park is also the famed birthplace of Ernest Hemingway, whose childhood home is now a museum open to visitors.

Both the park and mansion are a delight to experience, and the docent-led mansion tour is fascinating.

A beautiful local conservatory. Right off the oak park station of the blue line L. Small suggested donation . If you need to escape from the cold Chicago winters this is a great place to stop by. Street parking is available if you don’t take the train. Smaller than the Garfield park conservatory on the green line but in a safer neighborhood. Stop by to gaze at the fish or parrots in addition to the stars of the show, the plants.
