So im planning a trip to chicago, it'll be me and my parents none of us have ever been there so we wanna do as much as possible...were going for about 4 days so i need some cool things to be able to do with them. i have some places picked out but i wanna know what will actually be worth going to or just some suggestions would be great...
these are the things that i have picked out:
Navy Pier
Millennium Park
Garfield Park Conservatory
Lincoln Park Conservatory
Shedd Aquarium
Field Museum
Hancock Tower (going to the signature room or the signature lounge...)
Daley Plaza
Water Tower
Magnificent Mile

its a long list so i really need to narrow it down lol. i wanna know like what there is to do in each of them.... and are they all around the sameish area.. like are they all really spread out or kinda near each other..
thanks in advance! =]|||Navy Pier, especially a ride on the ferris wheel is fun.
A walk through Millennium is fun, especially if there is an outdoor concert in the evening.
A visit to the Shedd Aquarium is a must, if just to see the white whales.
The Field Museum is near the aquarium and is also a must. However, seeing both will take most of a day.
Daley Plaza is rather bland with the exeption of Picasso's steel sculpture.
The Magnificent Mile (Michigan Avenue north of the Chicago River) is great for upscale shopping. The Water Tower is located near the north end of the Mile and is simply nice to look at and appreciate.
Personally, I would skip the Garfield and Lincoln Conservatories, unless botany interests you.
Three things not on your list worth seeing:
1. A ballgame at Wrigley field to watch the Cubs play is a great experience, even if you don't follow baseball.
2. A visit to the top of the Sears Tower. Its much higher than the Hancock Tower and the view on a clear day is spectacular.
3. A visit to the Art Institute, which is next to the Mellenium Park. It houses first class artwork and a great restaurant for lunch.
4. A show at the Second City, where many well known comedians (Think Saturday Night Live alumni) got there start.
5. Either the Architectural River cruise along the Chicago River or the Chicago River/Lake Michigan sightseeing cruise. The boats depart at the river at the south end of the Magnificent Mile.
6. The Museum of Science and Industry is a short cab ride away. It will take all day to see everything, including a chance to through a German WWII U-boat
Its a truly great city. Enjoy!|||I am going to try to help you out the best I can, Navy Pier and Millennium Park are good places to check out in the city, there are some stuff to do there. The web address for Navy Pier is http://www.navypier.com . Here is the Web Site for Millennium Park, http://www.millenniumpark.org/ . If you like plays, Chicago has a lot of theater companies, that you can take in a play at. And Navy Pier as the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, that every summer puts on a family play, and an adult play, you are more then welcome to feel free to look them up, at htttp://www.chicagoshakes.com . If you are going to be here, between June 26th-July 5th, the annual Taste of Chicago will be going on, and you can even sample the restaurants that are in Chicago, and many of them go every year. Daley Plaza has a statue called the Picasso that nobody knows exactly what it is supposed to be, check out http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl鈥?/a> , for pictures of it. If you like Harry Potter, then I bet that you will want to check out http://www.msichicago.org/whats-here/exh鈥?/a> . But it is worth going to Navy Pier and Millenium Park, even if you don't get the chance to see much of the city. And you can always check out http://www.cityofchicago.org to see more events that will be taking place in Chicago in 2009, and hopefully during your visit.|||I would take Garfield Park Conserv. off the list; not that it isn't wonderful, but it's way off the radar on location. Instead, Peggy Notebeart Nature Musuem is right next to Lincoln Park, a much nicer neighborhood than Garfield. There's a Butterfly Haven inside Peggy Notebaert.

Daley Plaza is downtown, which will be your only item on this list in this neighborhood, so you could eliminate this unless you really must see the Picasso scultpure.

Millenium Park has the bid "Bean" sculpture that you can stand next to and photograph yourselves reflected against the skyline of the city.

On Wed. at 9:30 and Sat. at 10:15 don't miss free fireworks at Navy Pier.

Everything else on your list is either in the Museum campus area or North Michigan Ave neighborhood. Good choices!|||What the people said to you on top.
But for me go see a muscial in Chicago. Just go to Broadway in Chicago and find the shows you wana see.
CHECK DAYTES THAT THE SHOWS ARE IN CHICAGO
