Visited Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens in Palos Heights the first weekend of August. It appears to be a very popular park. No admission fee is required, and no parking fees either. The park includes woodlands, prairie, wetlands, gardens and a large manmade lake with a pumped waterfall. The waterfall serves in aerating the water. The waterfall is in stages and has a trail by its side; the trail is well shaded by trees. The lake is the centerpiece of the park, and a mile long wood chip covered walking trail surrounds the lake. The trees on the southside of the trail are labeled. The lake edges are vegetated with a variety of flowering plants and the whole scenery is lovely. When we visited in July, kayak / canoe rentals were in heavy use on the lake. On the east side of the park is the Buzz N’ Bloom Prairie comprising of a variety of prairie plants including compass plant (flowers rotate to face the sun) as well as a variety of birds and insects. The parking lot also serves as a trailhead for the Cal-Sag Trail. Could not visit the Nature center which was closed due to the pandemic, but saw a wedding group taking pictures with the beautiful lake in the background. Lake Katherine is a wonderful place for one and all. Do not miss viewing the Worth Falls after a short walk from the Buzz N’ Bloom Prairie on the Cal-Sag Trail.

The location is easy to find and has limited parking in the front. Not sure if there is more parking but they work on appointments so you should be able to get a good spot. The atmosphere is very nice, the staff is very friendly and helpful. They have several different wellness items for purchase and a variety of salt related items too. It was only 2 of and we got our session in early. The salt cave is literally that! The ceiling and walls are salt rock and the floor is filled with bead size salts, it's like your walking from a hallway into a private beach. The lighting and music is nice along w the starry night affect of the lights. You lock your electronics and whatever else away and take off your shoes and relax in a zero gravity chair. You will when the air is filling too, my nose tingled. My breathing afterwards felt more productive and this was after 1, 45 minute session. I've been massaged w salt rocks and that help me sleep, so this cave experience definitely has me feeling good. We will definitely be back!
