Evanston's Kid-Friendly Side Highlighted by Disney!

We all know Evanston to be a thriving city fusing both young and old alike into dynamic community focusing on the arts, green living and historic preservation.  But, there’s another side of Evanston that has been highlighted by Disney’s Family.com website.  The ingredient that makes Evanston such a well-rounded environment is it’s family appeal. 

In the article on the websites travel section, Elaine Glusac pointed out the things she loves to see, eat and be a part of when she is in Evanston.  Below are a few of her favorites.

1. Mitchell Museum of the American Indian- What a great place for children to learn the rich heritage of the American Indians.  This museum also provides a hands on approach to learning with DIY crafts!

2. Grosse Point Lighthouse and Lakefront- Built in 1873, this lighthouse is nestled in the midst of gorgeous gardens and is open during the summer for panoramic Lake Michigan views from the top of its’ 141 steps.
