I am getting ready to go to Chicago the weekend of January 15th, 2010. I am looking for fun, relatively cheap things to do that weekend. On Friday night I am going to a smaller venue concert, but looking for things to do before that, and Saturday, possibly early Sunday. I'm going with my fiance so something romantic could be a possibility. Also, something unique for a younger crowd (I'm 25 and she's 23), but not necessarily a night club. Things I have been to are the Willis Tower, Navy Pier, Shedd Aquarium, Museum of Science and Industry, Magnificient Mile, took a cruise from Navy Pier, and went to a Cubs game. Any recommendations? Details and/or ratings are appreciated, thanks!|||You've been to the Willis Tower to share the view with kids. Now go to the adult version with a better view and a romantic dinner or to the jazz lounge with a vew. The Signature Room atop the Hancock building is a great date:

Before or after a horse carriage ride. Hopefully it won't be too cold but that is the coldest part of the year. Fear not for they will have a warm blanket to share:

You mention Wrigley Field. What about Millenium Park? Great sculptures and views of the skyline await. Both of these locations have ice skating rinks with skate rental:

Millenium Park not only has Cloudgate (the Bean) but also a fine restaurant that overlooks the ice rink:

Take a look at our Chicago Events Calendar. It's full of things to do in Chicago. We maintain listings of all kinds of fun and interesting events going on in the Chicago area. You can sort it by category and by date. New events are being added all the time so make sure you check back before your trip.
Enjoy your trip!|||I know you had mentioned not totally interested in night clubs, however if you did want to take your fiance to get a drink before you go to the concert, a fun bar is Big Bar in the Hyatt on Wacker. The bar offers "big" drinks, like the margaritas that are prepared in a cement mixer. Most of their drinks are so big you and your fiance would need to share them (they offer "normal" sizes too) The bar also has a great view of the river. It gets crowded on the weekends but if you do it as a early stop before you head out it should be less crowded.It's a fun little stop and if you don't tell your fiance about the drink sizes before hand it might be fun to see her expression when she sees the glass sizes :) Oh and the bar has two 103" plasma TVs
