Bahá'í House Of Worship Welcome Center — Attraction in New Trier Township

I went to the Bahá’í Temple on a quiet Monday in June, and wow, what a memorable experience! A big shout-out to the volunteer guide at the front desk who made it special. Even though I got there just before closing, he was super nice and gave me a quick, thoughtful tour. I appreciated how he stuck around.

While I would love to talk about the beautiful architecture, it's magnificence will not be lost once you enter the Place of Worship. My love for this place is for the people who are beautiful, wonderful and filled with kindness. Welcoming and friendly.
