Baha'i House of Worship and Chicago Botanic Garden

Tuesday, July 25, 17

Coach leaves Tallent Hall Parking lot at 8:30 am.  Be there at 8:15 am

The Baha’I House of Worship is a symbol of Oneness of Humanity and sacred space for all people to commune with God. The building’s white walls of lace-like ornamentation and its dome rising 135 feet above the main floor create a scene of unsurpassed beauty and tranquility. Exquisite gardens and fountains surround the Temple. There is an introductory film and guided tour of the Temple 10:00 to 11:30.

Chicago Botanic Garden is a 385 acre living plant museum situated on nine islands in the Cook County Forest Preserve. It features 27 display gardens in four natural habitats. After lunch we are taking a 35 minute tram tour traveling 2.6 miles and showing the entire garden grounds: highlights of 81 acres of lakes, 9 garden islands, and panoramic views of these beautiful gardens. Then you are on your own to see the gardens up close on the walking paths.
