Características

Cantigny es un lugar único para caminar y descubrir cosas. El museo en el terreno es gratuito (después del pago del estacionamiento) y tiene mucho que ver y experimentar. Los niños se emocionan mucho por ver los tanques en el parque y pueden jugar en ellos. El suelo alrededor de los tanques es de ese tipo suave/rubio que se encuentra en los parques de juegos, lo que reduce la fuerza del impacto y añade a la seguridad (Aunque hay un riesgo inherente al escalar objetos metálicos grandes que no están destinados para los niños).

El parque tiene una gran variedad de áreas verdes y un museo histórico que muestra la importancia de la Batalla de Cantigny durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. El parque también cuenta con un área de juegos infantil y un estacionamiento con pago.

Ubicación

Cantigny se encuentra en Wheaton, Illinois, Estados Unidos.

A really unique place to walk and things to see. The museum on the grounds is free (after parking fee) and it's got a lot to see and experience. Kids get really excited to see the tanks in the park and they're able to play on them. The ground around tanks is that soft/rubbery type around playgrounds so jumping on it reduces the force of the impact adding to some safety (Though there is some inherent risk to climbing on a big metal object that's not intended for kids)

If you have not been here/ check it out! Beautiful during any season. My pics here are from winter lights. Spring is amazing with beautiful gardens as well as Summer and Fall. Photo opts everywhere. The first division museum is very educational. Bring the kids- but not the dog unless it is a designated dog day! Visit - you won’t regret it.

Went for the Easter egg hunt with my grandkids, it was a really nice place. The gardens are very well maintained and will be beautiful in a few more weeks. The magnolias were in in bloom and smelled heavenly.

I went there for the annual car show. Great show! Over 400 cars of all varieties. Well run and organized. Kinda pricey to enter, but it's once a year and there's a lot of cars to see and people to talk to. There was a dj and a band, along with food to purchase. Plus you can enjoy the park and exhibits.

Beautiful place with history, tanks the youth are encouraged to climb on, and a 1st Infantry museum on par with some of the best in the world.

Serenity meets Beauty in the remarkable Park located in the far west Suburb of Wheaton, Illinois. The grounds are immaculately kept with an array of floral gardens throughout the property. Plenty of areas to sit and read a book or watch happy enthusiast roam this beautiful property. The estate also verses a beautiful garden and monument that has the final resting place of the McCormicks. Two camping grounds for those that may want to celebrate Feast of the Tabernacles. Picnic benches galore, playground fun for the kids, restrooms strategically located around the property. A military armory is displayed in October 2024. Lots of space for Weddings, Family Gatherings and Corporate Events.
