Things To Do
Magnificent Mile
The best area for shipping in the city!
Architecture River Tour
Get a unique view of the most interesting buildings along the Chicago River! I learned so much on this tour, even after already living here for years.
Millennium Park
Snap a selfie with the iconic "bean" (Cloudgate) and stroll the adjoining park, full of unique modern art pieces. Located right next to the Chicago Art Institute, and not far from the museum campuses.
The Art Institute of Chicago
Dalí. Seurat. Van Gogh. Hopper. Monet. O'Keeffe. Need we say more? Okay, we will: If you like art, you will love AIC. The museum is GIGANTIC and houses a huge variety of art pieces from all over the world and from almost every time period of humanity. A must see!
Field Museum
Even if you're not a huge science or history buff, we promise this museum will have something you'll love that you probably won't see anywhere else.
Willis Tower
Formerly known as Sears Tower, this skyscraper is the tallest in Chicago (we think?!) Anyway, even if it's not, it's still really freakin' tall, and if you're looking for a thrill, you can go up to the top to take in the view or even step into one of its glass-floored boxes and look down to the street, hundreds of feet below!
Navy Pier
A classic stop for visitors. The pier has shopping, restaurants, a theater, and a small theme park/arcade. Fun way to pass an afternoon!
