Home Services reviews in Chicago, Illinois

Really nice Lilly pool with a nice little pavilion. Nice place to come to withdraw from the crowds. In general, it is not too crowded, however during the summer tours are conducted regularly (which I believe are free). Lots of seating by way of Rocky surfaces, not so many benches. Some steps and uneven surfaces.

A beautiful, serene experience of nature.

I lived in Chicago for 9 years, and really wish I had known about this place sooner! It is absolutely an oasis in the middle of the city. I mean, there are lots of cool parts of Lincoln Park, but this one really stands out. Partially, or perhaps mostly, because it is enclosed. You can’t see the rest of the park or the city, so you’re entirely surround by water and plants and bugs and birds. Fortunately I didn’t notice any mosquitos (phew!) which is surprising given the amount of standing water. And the birds!! I’ve never gotten to be so close to such huge and majestic birds!! Like 3 or 4 of them, different varieties (I wish I could give you more details). This will definitely be a place I return to again and again when I am back visiting this city. I wish I could see what it looks like in each season..... too bad I’m never coming back in the winter :D

This is the prettiest spot in the city and I love visiting. The sign says it’s open mid April but I went today (April 21) and it is still closed. I went to the conservatory right around the corner and they said it would open April 30th, which is disappointing because early spring is prime redbud season and they have a few inside the lily pool. Hopefully they won’t have shed all their blooms by the time they finally open their doors.

This place is so calm. I have officiated a few weddings here and each time it has been so wonderful. It is a great place to walk about. It always seems so Dewayne comforting. The Lily Pond is gorgeous, always.

This little gem of a park is tucked away just north of Lincoln park zoo. Its calm beauty is the perfect backdrop for a leisurely stroll with your family (or your besties!). The path features many natural stone steps, so this is perhaps not the best place for folks with mobility issues. Be sure to check it out next time you visit the zoo or the lakefront, and bring your camera and bug spray!

This is an absolutely gorgeous little place hidden inside of Lincoln Park.

A Chicago treasure. This garden makes me so happy. I read my book in front of this fall beauty.

This is such a lovely spot! The garden is stunning and we spotted a few monarch butterflies on our stroll around. On top of that, there was a sweet woman greeting people and giving tours who was very kind to my partner and I which only added to our experience. If that's you are you're reading this - thank you!

Great location taking amazing photos for wedding or your family album. It might be crowded some times but you can always find a great shot for your photo. This place has a Japanese garden vibes and this makes is a more desirable location for taking unique photos. I would suggest that you come near the sun set so you can use the magic light effects of your photos.

It's one of my favorite places in Chicago. This hidden Oasis in the city behind large wooden doors is a beautiful lily pond with a pergola and path around the pond. Great place to go to meditate or spend time with someone you love.

The secret garden!! Happened across this wonderful place and always bring friends when they come through town. I live the rock sidewalk designs!

If Jeff S. is your point of contact for any event, I recommend looking for alternatives. He is not suitable for customer-facing roles, and you can expect that your event will not be quiet or peaceful while he is involved.

Avoesis short film was shot here. Check it out for free by Googling or searching for it on YouTube.

A beautiful park! It's great spot to relax.

What a wonderful little spot in the city to feel like you've gotten away. Here's a turtle we saw just hanging out getting some sun.

Enjoyed revisiting this welcoming lily pool that is right next to Lincoln Park Zoo & the Lincoln Park Conservatory. There is nearby free street parking on Stockton Dr. & Cannon Dr. if your willing to walk a short distance or a nearby pay for parking lot. All of this is across the street from the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. Bring a picnic and spend the day in the area and enjoy it all.

A beautiful natural world oasis to relax and connect with mother nature. Great place to meditate and read a book.

A calm and peaceful place to spend your afternoon and be close to nature.

Beautiful little tucked-away oasis. Feels like the kind of place you only find out about from a local. Great for relaxing and meditating.

Great place for families to visit. Some parts are not stroller-friendly, but it is calming. Considering it is next to Lake Shore Drive, the trees help with the noise.
