Here’s your first look at the Obama Presidential Center ahead of its grand opening on June 19.

The new 19.3-acre campus in Jackson Park is free to explore and features a new library, gardens, community spaces, Home Court, a playground, and the Sky Room, which offers incredible views of Lake Michigan and is free to visit.

Visitors can also stop by the on-site restaurant Tafari’s Kitchen, which features the Obama family’s famous chili recipe!

The only paid portion of the campus is the museum, where guests can explore interactive exhibits, view President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize, see iconic dresses worn by First Lady Michelle Obama, step inside a replica of the Oval Office, and learn more about the Obama family’s journey and legacy.
