Hyde Park is 7 miles from downtown Chicago on the city's South Side along Lake Michigan. It is without a doubt one of the cultural hubs of our city with the University of Chicago's gothic columns at one end to the west, the Museum of Science of Industry's grand building to the east and many other people and places of note in between. Some even call it the "culture coast."
The "Culture Coast" also includes Court Theater, Hyde Park Art Center, Little Black Pearl, Hyde Park Historical Society, Blackstone Library, the Civic Knowledge project and Hyde Park Jazz Society.
A favorite spot for visitors and locals alike is the Hyde Park Art Center. It's a hub for teens, resident artists, Bridgeport coffee patrons and art lovers.
