Enjoy one of the largest and best outdoor street festivals of the summer! This is one of our favorite things to do every year and we will be very jealous of everyone who gets to attend.
If you haven't been to Chicago (or even if you have) a river tour is a must. There are many tour companies to choose from, but each provide a very similar experience. If you want, you can also rent a small boat and cruise down the river at your own leisure.
Explore the best of Lincoln Park. Take a stroll by the lake, walk the farmers market, enjoy the free zoo etc. You can even take a direct walk/bike ride on the lake path back to your hotel! See why we love living in this pocket of Chicago!
