Surrounded by gardens and a reflecting pool, the magnificent bell tower in Washington Park is the third largest in the world and one of the few open to the public. You can watch the bells being played during a tour of the tower’s three floors. A spectacular view of the city awaits those with stamina enough to make it up the final circular staircase to the top. Or, you can take an elevator to one of the most beautiful views in Springfield.
Don’t miss the International Carillon Festival held June 6-13.
