This building is amazing - it's definitely one of Chicago's (and America's) architectural gems. The peaceful environment inside the temple and in the nine gardens outside provides a comfortable space to pray, meditate, or just generally clear and center your mind. The small museum in the basement of the visitor center has some interesting exhibits, and the bookstore offers a variety of Baha'i literature for anyone who is curious and wants to learn about this beautiful religion. The temple is an easy ride on the purple line from central Chicago, and is a 5-minute walk from the station. I'm so glad I visited, even if this is a bit further afield than most of Chicago's other notable sites.
