so my family is going to chicago. weve went the past two years and need some different things to do. we have already gone to the willis tower and shedd aquarium. shopping is definitely on our to-do list. please give me some ideas if you know of any. thank you|||ahhh! i love chicago, i live more on the southside suburbs and go as often as i can.
any of the museums out there are worth going to: science and industry, art institute, etc. if you end up going to the art institute, a great time to go is on thursday after 5 because then it is free.
shopping is a given but also make sure you check out millennium park which has the ever so famous bean. stopping by the beach is always a good time. also maybe look into a segway tour? those are fun for the family and you really learn a lot. navy pier is a good highlight as well, but its not a long trip. there is the ferris wheel there as well a seadog tour at navy pier which is great! its a really fast boat and everyone has fun.
maybe check out a cubs or sox game if you have the time/like baseball.
restaurant suggestions:
wildfire--steakhouse
smith and wollensky's-- seafood and steak and its right by the river so you can watch all the boats pass as you eat a fantastic meal.
billy goats--best cheeseburgers in chicago and you get a taste of the history
hot chocolate-- a trendy and somewhat bizarre restaurant off of North Damen Ave, has the best hot chocolate ever.
^should have a reservation for all of these places...not billy goat haha
hope this somewhat helped, its really a great city and i hope you enjoy your vacation|||Downtown Chicago is the best place to be! You can go to the beach near Lake Michigan, Adler Planetarium, Shredd Aquarium, Navy Pier (including rides& children's museum if you have kids)
Bus Tour, Hancock Tower(best place is at 94, 95, 96th floor at the Signature's Lounge), Sears Tower,
boa triding in the lake. ( I visited Niles which is close to Downtown Chicago and I've seen the downtown area like lots of time!) HOPE THIS HELPS!!! :D|||Boat and Bus tours! Navy Pier, Millenium park, Museum of science and industry
