Things To Do
THE BEAN
just don't lick it (or do it, i'm not your mom) Downtown Chicago
Mitsuwa
Japanese grocery store + food court + stationary store + souvenir snacks !! Super close to the venue - less than 10 min drive.
Pokémon Fossil Museum
Near downtown Chicago IM EXCITED ABOUT THIS TOO HOLY CRAP but also book your tickets ahead of time bc I don't know what the availability will be like... people from around the world will be coming for this
First Ascent Block 37
This is where we first met!! They have 4 other locations in the Chicagoland area if you yearn for the rock
Fashion Outlets of Chicago
If you want to shop (more towards higher end brands), this mall is fairly close to the airport!
CAC River Cruise aboard First Lady
If you're going downtown for your stay and want to do tourist-y things, the boat tours are very relaxing and cool! (Not short-attention-span friendly, but if you love architecture, boats, or just cruising on the river, this is a great activity!)
SuperDawg Drive-In
If you want the good ol Chicago glizzy, you HAVE to try superdawg 👌
Pequod's Deep Dish Pizza
If you MUST have deep dish, I highly recommend Pequod's over Giordano's or Lou Malnati's.
Taco & Burrito House
If you want good tacos and will be in the North side of the city! Our OG favorite al pastor taco spot from when we first started dating!
