Things To Do

Ravinia Music Festival

Outdoor music festival and the summer home for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Be sure to check the calendar for current shows, and enjoy a picnic on the lawn.

Chicago Botanic Garden

1000 Lake Cook Road, Glencoe, IL 60022

Can't get enough plants? Come enjoy this bucolic garden for even more plants, as well as a stroll through themed gardens, waterfalls, greenhouses and prairies.

The Art Institute of Chicago

111 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60603

Recreate the iconic scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off! Try to find famous paintings such as the American Gothic or Nighthawks, or your favorite Picasso or Monet. If modern art is more your vibe, there's an entire wing for that. Alternatively, you could spend the entire day looking at pottery and sculptures from 5000 years ago.

Millennium Park

Chicago, IL 60602

There's more than just the famous "Bean"! After staring at Cloud Gate, visit the Crown Fountain, an interactive work of public art and video sculpture, which will quite literally spit water at your face. Enjoy the summer concert and movies series at the Pritzker Pavilion and try rock climbing in Maggie Daly Park for a better view. Or just sit on a bench and eat a dragged-through-the-garden Chicago style hot dog.

Field Museum

1400 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605

The famous t-rex Sue lives in this grand neoclassical building on the lakefront. Learn about fossils, asteroids, ancient cultures, mummies and more. After the museum, explore a hidden gem and walk through Northerly Island for quiet vibes (unless a concert is ongoing) and outstanding views.
