Chicago Things-To-Do
A few years ago, during a trip outside
the U.S., I learned something quite amazing. There are people today, in
the 21st century, whose only knowledge of Chicago is Al Capone, gangsters
and crooks. Yes, it’s true, Chicago was known as a lawless city back in
the roaring 20’s, but what a different city Chicago is today.
The great city of Chicago offers something for everyone – from world class
shopping, fine art galleries, museums and
theatre to unique neighborhoods rich in distinctive heritage, with their
city parks and local gathering places. All along the lakefront, from
Wrigleyville to Oak Street Beach to the Gold Coast to
Soldier Field,
Chicago is bustling with things for you to do. And
the Chicagoland suburbs offer nearby attractions, such as
riverboat
casinos, amusement parks, concert venues and more.
What would you like to do while visiting Chicago? Spend a day at
Navy Pier
and take a lakefront boat tour? Shop the Magnificent Mile? Visit Museum
Campus that includes the Field
Museum, Shedd Aquarium
and the
Adler Planetarium for an experience that is both fun and
educational? For more information on the exciting choices Chicago offers,
just click on the icons to the left. And don’t forget that Chicago is
known for its terrific dining experiences. At some point during your trip,
you’ll want to try a Chicago hotdog, beef sandwich or deep-dish pizza!
If you are looking for something for the
children while in Chicago, see our
Things-to-do for Kids page. It includes activities both in and around
the city.
