Things To Do

Lincoln Park Zoo

One of our favorite places in the city to visit. And the best part: it's FREE! Make sure to check out the Nature Preserve and boardwalk outside the south entrance of the zoo. You'll get a full view of Cafe Brauer and downtown.

The Air & Water Show

If you love planes and boats, head over to the lakefront just across the park from Hotel Lincoln on Friday and Saturday for the annual Air & Water Show. The Blue Angels are the headlining performers, along with parachuters, sailors, and speedboats. TIP: Get to the waterfront early if you want front-row seats, but planes can be seen up and down Lincoln Park as they fly towards Navy Pier.

R.J. Grunts

Some of the best burgers in the city! Also, Meredith highly recommends the sweet potato fries and their giant milkshakes!

Wrigley Field

Home to our favorite baseball team & 2016 World Series Champs, the Chicago Cubs! During our Wedding Weekend, the Cubs will be playing the Kansas City Royals for anyone interested in catching a game.

Toons Bar & Grill

The Groom's favorite bar in the city! A corner dive bar with billiards, darts, and patio seating that offers amazing food and drinks. Cam's favorite is their Kansas City burger and their BBQ wings.

Chicago History Museum

Ranalli's Lincoln Park

In the mood for pizza? Ranalli's has some of Meredith's and her mother's favorites. We also highly recommend the burgers, too!

Navy Pier

A Chicago staple for any tourist or first-time visitor: restaurants, tourist shops, boat tours, and rides, including the famous Navy Pier Ferris Wheel
