When was the last time you did something for you? No, we don’t mean for your kids, your husband, your girlfriend or boyfriend, your mum or your friends but you, you the one reading this? Exactly. These days everyone else feels like a priority and we rarely get to invest in a little self-pampering. Well, it’s time that changed!
If you are visiting Chicago or live here but have never really thought about exploring it more than you already have, this is the chance to do so. We’ve put together a list of gorgeous and exciting sights that’ll not only be a real treat for your senses but an educational experience as well!
HINT: You can reach them all by car, whether you are traveling by yourself or with a larger group. They’re all half-day excursions but you’ll remember them forever. Book a ride with AJ Limo Chicago for the most comfortable and enjoyable ride around your favorite outside-of-Chicago destinations: with us, you get the best of everything you deserve.
Baha’i House of Worship
Located at 100 Linden Ave., Wilmette, IL, the only Baha’i House of Worship in North America and one of the only seven in the world is the largest and oldest Baha’i House of Worship in existence. Sitting on the shores of Lake Michigan, this structure welcomes visitors of all faiths to come to the temple and meditate, pray or just enjoy the intricate architecture and impressive and tranquil gardens around.
Baha’i House of Worship is just 15 miles north of downtown; your AJ Limo Chicago driver will make sure you arrive to the spot in peace, prepared to take in the splendor of your experience. And, if needed, we’ll wait to take you back, too.
Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings
Visiting Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings (Various locations, Oak Park, IL) will be one of the most educational, cultural and inspiring experiences you’ll get in Chicago, especially if you are an architect yourself or an admirer of other people’s work. There are more examples of Frank Lloyd Wright’s work in Oak Park than anywhere in the world! You’ll get to see everything from public-access properties like the unprecedented Unity Temple to private residences like three Queen Anne-style “Bootleg Houses”.
A single fascinating tour of Frank Lloyd Wright structures may be enough for you to get an idea of Wright’s architecture style evolution, and maybe even get inspired to start drawing your own sketches. An added bonus? It’s just 10 miles west of downtown!
Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center
Honor the memories of those who were lost in Holocaust by visiting the poignant Illinois Holocaust Museum, located at 9603 Woods Dr., Skokie, IL.
Sitting only 17 miles north of downtown, the museum and education center features more than 500 artifacts and virtual reality experiences, along with contemporary artistic responses to genocide. Whenever we had clients travel with us to Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, we’ve heard them say the experience is emotional and overwhelming but extremely educational and even eye-opening.
