  • Gorgeous architecture all around - inside, outside, the tower, and the bells are incredible! There are 72 bells in the tower and together they are the second heaviest "carillon" in the world. You can even get a tour of the tower and see the carillonist play from the keyboard at the top. A truly amazing experience, I recommend everyone visit!
  • The majestic Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, at 200 feet, is the tallest building at the University of Chicago. The lavender garden is beautiful as are the many wood and stone carvings and the intricate ceiling. Come hear one of the largest carillons in the world. One of the best times to see the Rockefeller Chapel is the one weekend in October each year when it is open to the Chicago Architectural Foundation's Open House Chicago. Amazing.
