Located
right on Lake Michigan, Navy Pier is home to the Chicago Children's
Museum, the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, an IMAX theater, and unique
shops and restaurants. Find outdoor fun with the 15-story Ferris wheel,
an old-fashioned carousel, tour boats, the Skyline Stage and fireworks.
Power
shoppers grab their wallets and head for North Michigan Avenue, one of
the ritziest retail stretches in the world.
This
wondrous 25-acre park is a showplace for the arts. Catch an outdoor
concert at the dazzling Jay Pritzker Pavilion, designed by architect
Frank Gehry. See live music and dance at the Harris Theater. Then stroll
the grounds and discover the reflective sculpture “Cloud Gate” (called
“the Bean” by locals); the “Crown Fountain,” featuring projected images
of Chicagoans who playfully spurt water; and the cutting-edge “Lurie
Garden.”
One
of the oldest zoos in the country (opened in 1868), and it's free!
Experience country life right in the middle of the city at the
Farm-in-the-Zoo, get up close and personal with a gorilla in the new
Regenstein Center for African Apes, greet the newest arrivals at the
Pritzker Family Children's Zoo and paddle along the lagoon in a swan
boat. 
Get
a panoramic view of Chicago from the top of the nation's tallest
building. Check out the interactive exhibits, multi-language computer
kiosks that highlight city landmarks and high-powered telescopes for a
bird's-eye view.
The
Museum Campus is a scenic 57-acre lakefront park that connects three of
Chicago's most popular destinations: the Adler Planetarium &
Astronomy Museum, The Field Museum and the John G. Shedd
Aquarium. Spend the day whale-watching, exploring ancient Egypt and
gazing at the stars. 
One
of the world's leading art museums houses works by some of the greatest
artists in history, ranging from Monet to Warhol. See an extensive
collection of French Impressionist paintings, fine and decorative arts
from around the world, photography, textiles and more. Don't miss the
Museum Shop.
Have
fun learning about science and technology at this hands-on museum.
Popular attractions include the underground Coal Mine, awesome Omnimax
Theater and an actual Boeing 727 that recreates a cross-country flight
in just seven minutes!
Chicago
is a big sports town, so it's no surprise that it's also home to two
major league baseball teams. Cheer the Chicago Cubs on the North Side
and the Chicago White Sox on the South Side.
Chicago
finds joy in singing the blues. From Blue Chicago to Buddy
Guy's Legends to the House of Blues to Kingston Mines
to Rosa's Lounge, there is no shortage of blues music clubs in
Chicago. Whether you’re looking to experience the history of blues
giants like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, or just want to enjoy some
great music, you’ll find (and hear) it all over the city.
