A 1920s dairy farm the Glenview Park District saved in the middle of a residential neighborhood: free barn visits to see the cows, pigs, and chickens, a kids' exhibit area in the Heritage Center, and paid programs for milking and tractor rides.

💡 Tips

Open year-round during the day, with barn animals free to visit; check the website for weekend tractor rides and milking. It's 5 minutes from the Kohl Children's Museum, so North Shore families can make a day of it.
