We've both done this several times and never get tired of it! See amazing views of Chicago and learn about the city's history right from the water. Entrance is by the Apple Store. There are several architecture boat tour companies including Shoreline Sightseeing, Wendella, and Chicago's First Lady
If you want to get your Chicago dog fix or Italian beef sammie. Don't sleep on the chocolate cake!!
The Lincoln Park Zoo is free and is right by Lake Michigan. You can see the Chicago skyline, lake views, and wild life from here!
Arguably the best deep dish pizza in Chicago
West Loop has some of the best restaurants and nightlife in Chicago! Some restaurants we love are Green Street Smoked Meats, Aba, Girl and the Goat, Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken, The Allis and Sushi Dokku. So many options for different cuisines and range from casual to fancy with everything in between!
Never too cold for ice cream, even in Chicago. There are several locations throughout the city! Danielle's go-to order is 1/2 scoop of brambleberry crisp and 1/2 scoop of brown butter almond brittle in a waffle cone. Bryce loves the salted peanut butter with chocolate flecks.
The Bean is located in Millennium Park. Perfect to walk around the parks within the park on a nice day or visit one of the several museums in the area.
Amazing views of the city and Lake Michigan. Access to the lakefront walking/biking trail
