Things To Do
Home Alone House
Every Christmas we watch eight-year-old troublemaker, Kevin McCallister, defend his home against burglars on Christmas Eve. The infamous Home Alone House is located 2 blocks away from our wedding venue! Make sure to stop by for a photo-op before the ceremony or during your stay.
Scenic drive to Chicago
If you're interested in exploring the Windy City that we called home, take the scenic route! Starting right before Glencoe Beach, take Sheridan Rd south which will eventually lead you to Chicago. We often took this route on lazy Sundays when we wanted to get out of the house and see the Fall leaves and beautiful houses.
Millennium Park
Millennium Park is more than an attraction — it’s an expression of the Chicago experience. The lakefront campus, located in the heart of downtown Chicago, is home to the iconic Cloud Gate statue (aka “The Bean”), Crown fountain and the Jay Pritzker Pavilion & The Great Lawn.
The Art Institute of Chicago
Home to a collection of art that spans centuries and the globe, the Art Institute of Chicago is located in the heart of the city—and is one of TripAdvisor’s Top US Attractions of 2022. Make sure you check out the Ancient Egypt Exhibit!
Soldier Field
Home to Tim's beloved Chicago Bears, Soldier Field is a must see! Whether you're interested in a sporting event or a concert, it's a great place to be!
