Things To Do
Chicago has lots to do!
One of our favorite things about living in Chicago is Lake Michigan. There's lots to do including a walk on the Lake Shore Drive Trail. There are walking and bike lanes. Divvy bikes are throughout the area and are easy to rent through their app.
If you would rather relax by the lake, there are beach, concrete steps, and grass lake fronts from downtown up north Lake Shore Drive to Addison Street to enjoy.
Downtown offers many attractions including shopping the Magnificent Mile, the Field Museum, Navy Pier, and the Sky Deck at Willis Tower. Quartino's is one of Grace's favorite restaurants. Their small plates are perfect for sharing. Portillos is a Chicago classic!
A little more to the north of downtown, Lincoln Park has easy access to the Lake Shore trail and beach areas. We love walking through the Lincoln Park Zoo. It's free admission! Lincoln Park has lots of great places to eat and drink!
