If you have one day in Chicago, and never been there before, what all should I check out? |
Travel Info I'll be going to Chicago next week for a day. I'm 22, but I'm not really looking for nightlife or bar scene (as I will be with company of my father who's 40+). What should I go check out, if I only have 1 day to experience Chicago? Travel Tips The Field Museum. Less than 10% of their collection is on view at any time. Check out all the animals killed some by Teddy Roosevelt that are now endangered or extinct. After the museum, head north to Buckingham Fountain (The one featured in Married with Children). Continue north to Millennium Park Continue North to Navy Pier for a boat ride. Several to choose from including sailing, jet skis, and dinner cruises. If you come in when the tall ships are in you can board each one for a small fee and they sometime include a sailing lesson. Tall Ships Chicago The largest gathering of Tall Ships ever to set sail together in the Midwest will arrive in Chicago July 30 - August 4. The festival brings nearly 30 Tall Ships to the shores of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, providing a display reminiscent of the lakefront in the 1800's. Or you can skip Millennium Park and Buckingham Fountain and just take a free trolley from the Museum Campus to Navy Pier. Or you can take your pick from any or all of the 3 museums in the Museum Campus. They are the Adler Planetarium, Field Museum of Natural History and John G. Shedd Aquarium. Or you can continue North and go to a Cubs baseball game or head South to a White Sox baseball game.
