Things To Do
Millennium Park
You've got to get your photo in front of the bean! This is our favorite park in the city. Great for a morning or afternoon walk to see lots of city highlights - Buckingham Memorial Fountain, Lurie Garden, Cloud Gate + BP Bridge - to name a few.
Adler Planetarium
A must if you're looking for something out of this world!
Field Museum
Go check out our favorite t-rex, Sue, at one of the most well-renowned museums in the world.
Shedd Aquarium
One of our favorite indoor activities in the city - this isn't just any old aquarium. It's one of the largest + best kept facilities in the world. We love going when we can!
The Art Institute of Chicago
A top rated art museum right downtown - Jake and I haven't done this one yet, but it's on our Chi-town bucket list! We've heard this one's a must.
Lincoln Park Zoo
Free zoo right downtown! We went during Christmas time to see the lights, but we've heard this is a super fun spring-time activity as well.
Skydeck Chicago
Take an elevator to the top of Willis Tower for a beautiful view of the city. And if you're feeling super adventurous, make sure you check out the glass ledge.
Magnificent Mile
Perfect place for some afternoon shopping!
Wrigley Field
Catch a Cubs game while you're in town! If you're not interested in a game, Wrigleyville has some great little bars.
Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
One of our favorite places to grad a deep dish pizza!
Portillo's Hot Dogs
Hands down our favorite spot in Chicago - best hotdogs, best Italian beefs, best burgers. You name it.
Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe
This is the absolute best spot for pancakes in the city. If you're not sure, ask the bride's little brother. He'll tell you allll about it.
