Travel Info Going to chicago, whats the one thing i have to see, while i'm there? Travel Tips You did say the ONE thing you have to check out, right? Seems some people ignored that. But I'd have to say the Signature Room at the top of the John Hancock building. There's a bar up there with a piano lounge that you can sit and have a drink and look out over almost the entire city. It's quite a view. And it's pretty much free (ok, you do have to buy a drink) so you don't have to spend cash to go to the observation deck just above it and spend time with a bunch of kids in school groups. Go to the south side of the building and take the elevator up to the signature room. Head to the bar, or order a drink and gaze out on the city. Day or night, it's a great view. If you see nothing else of the city, see this. Others 1. Sears tower 2. a cubs game 3. Oprah Winfrey You should check out the Sears Tower Skydeck, Hancock Observatory and Navy Pier. Go to all museums here even the Shedd Aquarium. Oh yeah Buckingham Memorial Fountain in Grant...Make sure you go too all free events they have going on...
