Much of Hyde Park's prestige comes from the illustrious University of Chicago and the famous Museum of Science and Industry. With Lake Michigan on its eastern side, Washington Park to the west, 47th Street to the north and 61st Street to the south, Hyde Park/Kenwood encompasses renowned buildings, sweeping greenswards and an array of shops and eateries. Site of the 1893 World's Fair, Hyde Park/Kenwood remains a cosmopolitan and sophisticated neighbourhood, well worth exploring.
