    Most Chicagoans know of Pullman Train Cars but forget that an entire historic neighborhood exists…read more [Not to mention that many Chicagoans fail to explore or acknowledge that culture and history continues past the South Loop!] This little neighborhood treasure is steps from the Pullman Metra Station and super easy to explore. The visitor's center and museum stands on half of the old Arcade Park (which now only half exists). They take donations to maintain the historic value of the buildings and have a great little "Pullman on Foot" guide for free (a picture is provided in business images). If you prefer something a little more organized, they offer guided tours the first Sunday of each month between May and October. Not to mention, they also have an Annual House Tour the second weekend of October offering an inside look of various private homes. The town was constructed in 1880 in order to create housing and community facilities for the employees of George M. Pullman's Palace Car Company. The neighborhood is architecturally unique with many structures that remain including: Administration Building and Clock Tower, Hotel Florence (under renovation), remnants of Market Hall and its' circular promenade, Pullman Hospital, Greenstone Church, The Greystone Mansion, Arcade Park, Pullman Stables, and various housing projects for executives and craftsmen alike. I hands-down recommend a few sites during your visit: -The fabulous Greenstone Church (the building materials are a rarity and were shipped from Italy). -The abandoned Administration Building and Clock Tower across 111th Street, and it's walking path containing the neighborhood garden and beehives. -Take note of the varied facades of many original, nineteenth-century residences with often maroon and shades of green (Pullman colors) and how the buildings mirror each other from the center of the block. Take advantage of free Chicago ventures such as Pullman!

    I've never been here before. One of my MEETUP groups set up an afternoon here…read more We had perfect weather fora walking tour. We were one of 2 groups today. Only about 15 or 20 people per group. Our tour guide wasted a lot of time talking unnecessarily. I walk with a cane and it's very difficult to stand in one spot for 15 minutes. I was expecting a self guided your... I would have preferred it. Disappointed that the HOTEL FLORENCE was closed for remodeling.

    This is the eastern view of the Indiana dunes. It is kind of confusing because the national park is…read morethe west portions several miles away. My personal favorite is the Indiana state park side which is the east side. The photos included in this review are of the east side which is considered the state park. This is my favorite place to watch the sunset. There are several Great hikes. If you visit the visitor center and walk along the beach for a few minutes west, you will see a really large tower. This is a place where you can go up and have a look at birds (I think it's actually a birdwatching tower) and there is a beautiful hike through a pretty wildflower field south west of this tower. We saw cacti, so many native plants, more monarch butterflies than I could count in such a variety of birds. We stayed until the sunset. Do you want to make sure to get there 20 minutes before the sunset and find a place to sit down and just enjoy it. You will have an enjoyable time for about 45 minutes watching the sky change colors over the water. It is hard to believe that you were in Indiana because the waves sound just like the ocean. I am so glad that this area has been preserved by the national park service and the state park system. It is truly a treasure for the state of Indiana.

    This visitor's center is geared to the National Park. The grounds are beautiful with many native…read moreplants to see. There is a free theater on site that shares dunes history and current facts on a continuous loop. Gift shop is great. You might find National Park logo gear, local distillery non alcoholic merch and a small satellite Fluid Coffee Shop. There are a few park rangers on site to give advice on walking/hiking trails. They are also happy to answer any questions about the Indiana Dunes National Park. The lakeshore has two separate parks - a National Park and a State Park. Each park has a lot of similar attractions and a few different. If you have a yearly National Park Pass, I recommend going to the National Park. If you are an Indiana resident the State Park is a $7 admission per vehicle or $20 for out of state visitors.

    No welcome here! I have been coming up to the South Haven…read morearea for years since my family had a cottage up here. Now that country home is my full time home. Today was the first time I stopped at the visitors bureau and it will be my last. I had dropped my car off to get detailed at Bodfish-N-Sons and those folks had graciously dropped me off in downtown South Haven where I had breakfast at Phoenix Street Cafe and then did some shopping. Then I noticed that my iPhone battery was almost dead and I needed the phone so Bodfish could call and let me know when my car was finished. I was right by the South Haven Visitors Bureau so I stopped to see if I could plug in my phone for a bit - "Oh no!" said the unfriendly young man at the desk. "That is not allowed - maybe you can go to a coffee shop and they'll let you..." Then a woman walked in from off the street and she suggested the library. I agreed that would work. "Where is library?" I asked the young man. "It's over that way," he replied waving vaguely toward the east. Well I went to the east and never did find the library. Fortunately, I stopped at Fifth Third Bank where Emily, the officer who helped transfer my account from Chicago to my new address said, "Sure! And have a cup of coffee while you're waiting." I can understand that the Visitors Bureau wouldn't have the facilities to help out with this specific problem - but the lackadaisical attitude I encountered can not bode well for anyone coming to them for help or information about South Haven.

    From the owner: A quaint visitor information office with a warm, welcoming, and informative staff. Come on in, we…read moreare waiting for you!
