DAY TRIPS
"PLACE DE LA MUSIQUE" - THE SANFILIPPO MANSION
(Ages 50+)
A spectacular morning is in store for you in Barrington Hills on the 57-acre
Sanfilippo Estate. Known as "Place de la Musique", Jasper Sanfilippo, the nut and
snack food magnate known for his Fisher and Evan's nut products, spent over 30
years assembling one of the world's greatest collections of restored antique music
machines. As you tour the incredible mansion, you will step into the Music Room,
described by some as "unequaled in the world". See the world's largest theater
pipe organ and marvel at the collection of chandeliers, Tiffany-style lamps, and
phonographs. See the Weltre Wotan Brass Orchestrion, the largest known to exist.
In the Carousel Building see the Eden Palais carousel, the only complete European
Salon carousel in the world. With an 89-foot wide and 42-foot tall-carved fasade,
life-size carved horses, giant art glass butterflies, and an 89-key gavioli band organ,
it is a masterpiece not to be missed! For lunch, enjoy another unique experience
as we step into yesteryear at Chessie's Restaurant, in Barrington's Icehouse Mall.
At Chessie's, enjoy a great lunch and while dining inside a vintage 1927 rail car!

guide, as you venture up close and safely to a herd of about 70 buffalo. We will

and the story of the ranch. Later at the Industrial Revolution Eatery in nearby
Valparaiso, enjoy a delicious lunch while dining in this unique atmosphere that
pays tribute to the American spirit of innovation. En route home, enjoy some
sweet treats on a visit to the Albanese Candy Factory, home to the "World's Best
