Torrey Pines is such a fun little park with structures for little climbers (2-5yrs) and big kids too will find interesting (5-12yrs). Lovely views of nature, a place to sit on a park bench or under the gazebo, and lots of swings! No shade on the actual park area on a hot sunny day parking is street side, no bathrooms or porta potty, but a hidden gem when you find it.

Experience the last working farm in cook county as part of the Glenview Park District at Wagner Farm. In the spring summer and fall, enjoy seeing multiple animals living on the farm. Watch cows being milked in the milk parlor at specified times or see them in the barn or field, chickens, pigs, sheep, horses, and check out the vintage tractors for a cool picture. Make sure to check out the inside of the buildings as well to take a peak into what life was like on the farm a century or more ago, as well as the history behind the Wagner Farm. Taste some yummy ice cream on the weekends too. In the summer check out the inside of the historical Wagner house to see a day in the life inside the home on a farm; bread being baked and kneaded on an old fashioned stove. Great educational and learning experience for the entire family! Highly recommend! Myself and my children love visiting the Wagner farm.
