Review of Baha'i National Center

Entirely unique building that looks lke it's made of lace. Have been going there to walk the stunning gardens, walk the inside to bask in it's beauty, catch the peace and innate spirituality of this whole place since high school in the 60s. It can be spotted from Sheridan Road, its white huge presence visible from aways off. It had spectacular views of Lake Michigan, but an enormous private residence was built across the road very recently, having an impact on the lake view. Now I live 10 blocks away, which never ceases to amaze me.

About a year ago, a separate free-standing visitors centers opened to accommodate the many international and local guests, being a bookstore and with people to answer questions. Until then, the center was in the lower level and was just too small to meets the needs.

The Baha'i belief system is very cool and and interesting. Get an overview at the visitor center.
You can't go wrong. Find out ahead of time when there is something going on because that may or may not be a good time to visit. Length of visit depends on what you want to do there.
Hope you make it there and will be glad you did.
