Grant Park
Grant Park is rich in history. It was named after American Civil War General and US President Ulysses S. Grant. Grant Park is known as Chicago's front yard and is home to Buckingham Fountain and the Art Institute of Chicago. The Daley Bicentennial Plaza hosts some of Chicago's largest festivals. Grant Park's 319 acres is a great place to take your class to see the natural landscape, brush up on your history and view all of the many activities happening through out the year.
