Good to know when visiting Grant Park

Before you visit Grant Park, be sure to keep a few things in mind. Grant Park and Inman Park are amongst the last bastions of Victorian architecture in the city. While you're free to check it out from a distance, bear in mind that many of the Victorian homes are privately occupied, so make sure not to disturb the residents.

When you visit this park, you'll find yourself close to several other attractions. Just a short distance to the north towards Old Fourth Ward, you'll find Freedom Park. A few miles southeast, you can visit the Starlight Drive-In for a retro movie-going experience.
