Humboldt Park Boathouse

The 1907 Prairie School boathouse rises up from the lagoon’s edge and serves as the park’s showpiece. A cafe inside serves beyond-the-norm sandwiches and breakfast dishes that you can eat on the patio with a view over the water. The boathouse also hosts free concerts and other cultural events.
