Absolutely breathtaking views outside as this runs alongside Rock River. Inside, I enjoyed the Koi pond just as much, if not more than, the gardens. They just brought so much peace! I expected a lot more inside, but not bad considering it only cost $10 per person. I would like to come back for the butterfly exhibit.

The ladies at the Nicholas Conservatory and Gardens recommended Prairie Street Brewing Co and I am so glad we took their advice. Wonderful ambiance, delicious food, and pleasant service! My daughter ordered the BBQ chicken salad which was so huge, it could probably feed 3 people. She absolutely loved it! I ordered the Rockford Quesadillas without the bacon and they were delicious as well. The two us us also enjoyed their homemade rootbeer, which tasted similar to "Not Your Dad's Rootbeer". Would definitely return!

Just a heads up that a service fee was added to the bill, with no explanation what it was for. This was not a credit card fee as it was there before I handed her the card.
