About Jackson Park
Jackson Park is located behind the Museum of Science and Industry and has a large area of re-created forest. It is a good idea to visit the Japanese pavilion that is a replica of one that existed in the same spot during the 1893 Colombian exposition. This is a great stop for anyone who is looking for somewhere to stretch their legs after visiting the museum. The Wooded Island is also a spot in the park that is a great place for kids. This is a place that is great during the day, but one should try to avoid it after sunset since it is possible to find less than desirable people here.

Jackson Park was transformed into the fair grounds for the 1893 World's Fair by Frederick Law Olmsted (of Central Park fame). While the park has changed over the years, many original designs remain, including a manmade lagoon and some of the original light posts. Don't miss the Statue of the Republic, a smaller-scale replica of the original statue that serves as a symbol of the fair.
Cross the bridge over the lagoon. Voila - Japanese tranquility. Look back towards the Museum of Science & Industry. You may spy the ghost of Clarence Darrow.
Beautiful place!!!!!
This is so so beautiful...Hope your there when it is sunny...I was here in the fall & froze to death
It's also inside Chicago, right next to the University of Chicago, next to the Great Lakes. But there are really few people. Here are some famous replicas of architecture and sculpture, which are not in keeping with the surrounding environment, very strange feeling.
