Here are just some examples of the fun activities that you can explore on a trip to Chicago:
Pick Up A Pizza
No trip to Chicago is complete without a visit to one of the world famous pizzeria. Such as Rosati’s. Chicago pizza rivals that of those that you can purchase in either New York or even Italy and has a unique and authentic flavor. One distinct feature is also the crust which is thicker than pizzas you might have tried before. Of course, not all pizza parlors are equal so we recommend that you check the reviews before you travel or just ask the locals when you are there.
Visit The Art Institute
The art institute is one of the most impressive and interesting attractions that Chicago has to offer. Housed inside is more than 300,000 different pieces of artwork for you to peruse.

Say Hello To The Animals
If you are visiting Chicago with the family then you can also take a trip to Lincoln park zoo, as the name suggests this is located in the centre of Lincoln Park. There are more than 1000 animals to encounter. The zoo is particularly noteworthy as it is one of the last free zoos operating in the country today. Despite Covid still being apparent all of the zoos restrictions have now been lifted while it is still advised that you wear a mask this certainly makes it easier as a day out that you can plan for you and your kids.

Finally, you might want to consider taking a trip to Millennium park. This is one of the most popular outdoor areas in the entire city and it stretches over a tremendous 24.5 acres so you should have no problem finding your own private stretch of green to enjoy in the summer sun. As well as being the perfect place to relax this park also plays host to public art work and a range of special events.
