Jackson Park Cherry Blossoms — Attraction in Hyde Park Township

Went April 20th as a first timer — beautiful collection of cherry blossoms… didn’t feel crowded and nice to also take a walk in the Japanese Garden area close by. A true hidden gem in the city (last few years the weather conditions with the pre-chill required didn’t happen) so hopefully will get another blossom next year!

As a tip: the walkway/bridge that connects the west and east side of the park is closed so if you park in the lot on the east side there is no way to get to the other side without “looping” around the south side of the Museum of Science and Industry, which is a nice walk in itself and worth doing! Just factor in the extra time in case you’re meeting someone on the west side of the park since the shortcut...

It was a beautiful sight!! We were able to see the cherry blossom last Sunday! Even though my husband and I didn’t had a chance to see the garden because there were a lot of people lining up to see it as well. the cherry blossom trees are worth the trip. The place was full of people. The parking was reasonable we got the $2 rate for 1 hour or less than an hour, you get to walk for at least 10-15 mins before you get to see the garden or the cherry blossom trees site. All worth it, a destress moment ♥️ by the way you can also wear you best clothes and have your own...

The cherry blossoms In Jackson park are a great spectacle every year in the spring in Chicago. There are a few groves in this park with beautiful flowering trees at the end of April. People from all over the Chicagoland come over to see this beautiful flower show the only last a couple weeks. Around this time the Japanese garden locator in the same area it’s already open and you can be sit and enjoy the peaceful walk around these garden. If you ever piece of Chicago around this time I would a strong encourage you to visit...
