Description:
WILMETTE. Beautifully manicured gardens frame this magnificent, white-stone structure, which was completed in 1953. Its soaring, 191-foot dome has an airy atmosphere, courtesy of a lacy piercework exterior. The Middle Eastern-inspired structure is one of only seven Baha'i temples in existence and the only one present in the western hemisphere. The interior is as breathtaking as the exterior, and guided tours are available on request. The temple is an active place of worship, so be mindful of others when you visit. |

Graceland Cemetery |
|
(Attractions & Activities - Sightseeing) |
|
4001 N Clark St, Chicago 60613 • 773-525-1105 |
|
|
| |
Description:
WRIGLEYVILLE. Cemetery hours don't allow guests to verify whether a green-eyed ghoul really howls at the moon. The story of the statue of six-year old Inez Clark disappearing during storms also remains a legend, but a walk through the historical 1860 graveyard during the day is still a worthwhile experience. Inexpensive maps and guides are offered to help visitors identify famous gravesites, including that of the city's first white settler. |

Description:
MAGNIFICENT MILE. After 40 seconds in John Hancock's elevator, visitors are transported many stories above Chicago. From there, the city's third-largest building offers views that stretch out to 80 miles on a clear day. Food and drink are available in the restaurant and lounge, and informational exhibits are on display in four different languages. Should you be around in February, you may want to skip the elevator ride and run to the top with other participants who "Hustle up the Hancock" to benefit the American Lung Association. |
