Chicago Botanic Gardens + Ravinia Concert with Chicago Symphony Orchestra

  • Saturday, August 01, 2015
  • 9:30 AM
  • Glencoe, IL
Fun, new option before the Ravinia concert--join us in the morning to visit the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Illinois near Ravinia.

Carpool at 9:30am from the same Southwest College Avenue Park and Ride Lot. We’ll wander around the gardens and then head to Ravinia to meet up with the afternoon carpoolers.

While there’s no individual admission fee, we’ll share a discounted parking fee for one vehicle. Additional vehicles are $30. Tram rides and several special gardens/exhibits cost $6 ($5 for age 62 or older). On a first-come, first-served basis, several discounted tickets are available for a tram ride and for the special train garden. Food can be purchased in several eateries, or bring lunch for the picnic area.

Events on August 1 include a flower show and afternoon chef demos. On the alternate August 8 date, there is a kite fest, garden show, and chef demos.

The Ravinia program is all Tchaikovsky, complete with live cannon! This is the night of the annual Gala so the gates open at 4:00. We are looking at leaving the Park and Ride about 2:30. As always, you bring chairs and blankets. You can bring or buy food, or do both. The lawn seating tickets are $10.00 and are purchased at Ravinia. In case of rain, our alternate date is August 8 to hear Ramsey Lewis.

Please let Cindy know at 414-336-8695 or cmwiktorek@att.net whether you’ll carpool in the morning or afternoon, as well as whether you’re interested in discounted train garden and tram tickets.
