One of the only natural refuges in the Chicagoland area, the Morton Arboretum is an oasis of open green space with lots to admire as you take a stroll or picnic within their beautifully manicured forests. Be prepared for crowds in warmer months, especially if there is a global pandemic underway. If you're looking for a quieter portion of the Arboretum, the Western portion is a favorite among readers and others seeking solitude in nature.
