Party Time and Bonus Activities!
Friday, August 6, 2021
Museum of Science and Industry
1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
5700 S Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60605
You can book basic admission online for $21, and there are several extras you can purchase as well. If you use the CityPass, you can book online, but if you use the GO Chicago Pass, you need to pick the tickets up in person at the museum (could be a long wait in line). Unfortunately, the Marvel exhibit is sold out, but this is still a great museum. The start and end times aren't strict, but that's about the time frame we'll be there if you want to join us.
Revival Food Hall - Dinneer
Fri, Aug 6, 2021, 5:30 pm - Sat, Aug 7, 2021, 6:30 am
125 South Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60603
Large food court and bar, so it offers variety, but all the stalls are local
Dave & Buster's Rosemont
7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
9870 Berwyn Ave, Roseemont, IL 60018
Just going here to play games, and it's very close to the hotel! Savings tip: If you sign up for their rewards program, you can get $10 for spending $10, and then if you register your card (that's what you put your money onto), you get $10 for every $100 you spend.

Tall Ship Windy Boat Tour
11:00 am - 12:30 pm
This is a boat tour along the shoreline of Lake Michigan on a giant sail boat! The site says it's 90 minutes and there is a bar onboard. This is one of the experiences you can include with a Go Chicago Pass. Otherwise, the base ticket price for an adult is $37. and $17 for a child, with upgraded options available. I think I also saw a Groupon deal for this.
Millennium Park
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
201 East Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60601
We've been here before, but I never get tired of this park, and I love going with others. After grabbing lunch or a snack somewhere, we'll just wander around a bit before we need to go back to the hotel for the party.
PARTAAAAAY - Main Event
5:00 pm - 11:00 pm
5550 North River Road, Rosemont, IL 60018
Attire: Please wear clothes!
The can has been kicked down the road to 8/7, to give everyone who is able, time to get vaccinated. We want this to be a fun gathering, where we can all be together! We will have an open bar, dinner, late night snacks, a DJ, and board games. The banquet room will be divided to have one space for the board games and socializing, and a larger space for the DJ. We will also have the hallway to those rooms to ourselves. You won't find a lot of fanfare or customary wedding things, just a time to reunite with old friends and maybe make new ones!

Skydeck Chicago - Top of Willis/Sears Tower
11:30 am - 1:00 pm
We want to see the whole city, and this seems like the fastest way! Still not sure how long this actually takes, so that time frame is an estimate. This is also something that can be included in the Chicago GO Pass and City Pass. Otherwise, the cost is $35 for adults and $26 for a child. This is another ticket that can be upgraded.
Field Museum
1:30 pm - 4:00 pm
One more iconic experience to round out the weekend! Brian does not believe he has been here, so it should be interesting! This is yet another attraction you can use either pass for. The normal cost starts at $26 for (out-of-state) adults and $19 for children. And again, there are upgraded ticket options.
