Travel tips
Because the property is just off I‑355, most nearby attractions (like The Morton Arboretum and Cantigny Park) are easiest reached by car; plan on driving for day trips. If you’re arriving during periods of on-site work, allow a little extra time for entry and wayfinding, as at least one guest noted confusion during construction. For quick local outings, Lilacia Park and Safari Land are among the closest options.
