The architecture tours are AMAZING! We have been on over a dozen tours and have learned something new each time. It is a great way to learn about Chicago architecture and Chicago history, while taking in great views of the city from a different vantage point. Bonus - they serve drinks on the boat! Also, Wandella is just one of many companies that offer tours, so be sure to check out the other companies if Wandella is sold out.
Visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo is a fun way to spend the afternoon and a great way to visit one of Chicago’s most beautiful neighborhoods, Lincoln Park! An added bonus, it’s free - Lincoln Park Zoo is one of the only free admission zoos in the country. (Although we do recommend making a donation!) Our first apartment was across the street from the zoo at The Belden Stratford! There is a great French restaurant in the lobby, Mon Ami Gabi, if you’re looking for dinner in the neighborhood.
