If you are exploring the Lincoln Park area and need a break from the touristy attractions like the zoo or the conservatory, the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool is perfect for you! It is a garden hidden near the most popular attractions in the area that most people totally miss out on.

It has a scenic walkway and a relaxing seating area, where you can take some pictures or catch a breather. It is the perfect place to unwind in the midst of the usual chaos.

There are two entrances— one on Fullerton near the zoo entrance, and one in the zoo parking lot. Although it is not easy to find, the views are well worth it!
