Arriving at Chicago Botanic Garden
The Chicago Botanic Garden spans 385 acres at 1000 Lake Cook Rd in Glencoe, a North Shore destination well outside the city core. The grounds are large enough that guests need to be dropped at the correct gate — the Regenstein Center, a lakeside pavilion, or the Japanese Garden — and our chauffeur confirms the ceremony location in advance to avoid a long walk across the gardens. Glencoe sits a real drive from downtown hotels, so we plan the timing generously. With 25 distinct gardens to navigate, a precise drop-off point matters more here than at almost any city venue.
