Time Out says

The Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park spans nearly 20 acres, featuring a towering, 235-foot-tall museum building, a public plaza and expansive surrounding green spaces. The center serves as a space to explore the career and legacy of President Barack Obama, as well as a vibrant community gathering space. You'll need tickets to enter, but Illinois residents get in free on Tuesdays, and children two and under are always free.
