I love packing a picnic and sitting on the lawn at Ravinia. It's such a beautiful venue and the music is unbeatable--from the Chicago Symphony to touring headline acts. The Metra is the best way to get there and it's fairly inexpensive. There's a special round-trip Ravinia fare that makes it even more worthwhile for concertgoers, and you don't have to worry about the hassle of parking. It's a great idea for an inexpensive date if you bring you own food and wine.
Pros: Romantic spot, Great shows, Clean bathrooms
