Great place to visit! Went in the summertime and there's so much to do. Had a picnic, played on playground, walked through the gardens, and of course climbed on the tanks! My son loved it! The nice thing is that he can run around while learning at the same time!
So much fun!! The kids loved the tanks and the war museum. We also went on a tour of the mansion and they like that too. Only a parking fee. Great Value for families.
Wonderful place for the whole family. There is something here for everyone. Mom loves the beautiful gardens and touring the McCormick home. Dad loves the museum and the kids love climbing on the tanks and exploring the grounds. We all loved it, had a great time!
One of our favorite places to visit. The grounds are beautiful, the kids love climbing on the tanks, the museum is amazing and its FREE!! Take advantage of the backpacks. There are a lot of fun things to do in them.
My kids loved the water feature to play in, climbing on the tanks, and walking on the glass talked model in the visitors center. My husband (a Gulf War veteran) likes getting the chance to talk to his family, and other military vets we meet along Cantigny walks, about the tanks and army memories. We go a few times a year for the different festivals and enjoy going each time.
