Baha’i House of Worship (Optional)
After the long day at Lincoln Park Zoo and North Avenue Beach activities, I am sure you will be tired. But, If you still have energy and you are ready to pay some bucks for Taxi then you might want to consider Baha’i Temple. It is around 12 miles away from North Avenue Beach. Currently there are only seven Baha’i temples in the world and Chicago has one of them. Baha’i temple is famous for unique structure symbolizing unity and prayer to God.
