Things To Do
Lincoln Park Zoolights
The trees, central pavilion, and other structures of the Zoo are all adorned in millions of multi-colored Christmas lights that create the ultimate winter wonderland. In addition to wandering around and admiring the views, you can also watch live ice sculpting, go ice skating, take a short train ride, and even visit Santa.
Go Ice Skating at Millennium Park
Millennium Park, located in the center of Chicago’s downtown and full of iconic urban art like the Bean and Crown Fountain, opens its own outdoor skating rink (McCormick Tribune Ice Rink) during December. Who knows, you may even catch the happy couple there!
Shop on the Magnificent Mile and State Street
Stretching from the Chicago River to Oak Street, the Magnificent Mile is part of the upscale Michigan Avenue near downtown. In addition to being home to architectural landmarks like the Tribune building, the Chicago Water Tower, and the Wrigley building, over 450 stores are located along the route, from major department stores like Bloomingdale’s to apparel, luxury goods, jewelry, and toys. The Magnificent Mile also gets a gorgeous make-over with Christmas trees and tons of sparkling lights for the holidays.
