Meg + Katie’s favorite ways to spend time in Glenview:

We LOVE Wagner Farm! The Glenview Park District bought the 18+ acre farm in 1998. Meg loves to go to pet the animals and Katie loves the fresh farmer’s market that is open June – October. Collect eggs, step inside a two-story silo, and browse a 1930s grocery story while exploring the interactive exhibits in the Heritage Center.

Dig in a sandbox, swing on a tire, and learn as you play at the Ag Adventure area, a unique hybrid between a traditional playground and an interactive agricultural education exhibit. Observe livestock and poultry in pastures, sheds, and coops. This is a treasure on the north shore!

The Kohl Children’s Museum is a wonderful interactive museum located in Glenview near The Glen Town Center. With permanent interactive exhibits and visiting exhibits (there is a Van Gogh exhibit there now), The Kohl Museum is a wonderful place for the whole family, offering art classes, birthday parties, field trips and much more!
