Garfield Park Conservatory and Niki in the Garden

We went to Garfield Park Conservatory on September 1st. It was such a beautiful day. The art installation "Niki in the Garden" featured huge mosaiced statues by the late French artist Niki de Saint Phalle. They were placed all throughout the grounds, and were very kid friendly. You are able to climb in, out, and around most of them. The kids had fun playing and climbing on the statues. Maddie spied the perfect rolling hill off behind the totem poles. All the kids around her decided to join in after they saw her catapulting down! This was such a fun family day!
