The US isn\u2019t just the more popular cities of\u00a0Los Angeles\u00a0and Nashville, there are so many more\u00a0Fun US Cities that sometimes get overlooked when planning a trip to the US. This is why I wanted to share some of the very best things to do in Chicago, it\u2019s a city that has so much going for it and is totally fun to boot!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now, I know it can be a little difficult to whittle down a few key cities to visit in the US, especially if you\u2019re short on vacation time. After all, the sheer size and diversity of the US mean that one end of the country feels very different from the other. This is exactly why I wanted to share a few key tips on the best things to do in Chicago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I loved visiting and I\u2019m already itching to get back to the windy city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perched on the banks of Lake Michigan, Chicago has some amazing places to see, especially when you visit for the very first time. Heck, there\u2019s still so many of the best things to do in Chicago even if you\u2019ve visited a few times. It\u2019s the kinda city that\u2019s always changing and there\u2019s always something new popping up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.) Chill in Millennium Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Located along Lake Michigan, Millennium Park is the most iconic and exciting green space in Chicago. Originally built for, you guessed it, the millennium; the park is host to lots of different events that take place throughout the year. If you\u2019re visiting, make sure to check the\u00a0schedule of upcoming performances and events as they\u2019re usually pretty good.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dip into a little culture at one of the concerts that are held on the Great Lawn and Jay Pritzker Pavilion areas. If that\u2019s not your thing, swing a ball or two at the famous Wrigley Stadium (or maybe just watch for us novices). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also, be sure to head to The Crown Fountain for a mix of technology and waterpark-style fun! Stroll down the Chase Promenade, making your way to the big bean (technically known as Cloud Gate).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) Gorge on Art at the Art Institute of Chicago<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nestled in Grant Park, is the gorgeous Art Institute of Chicago. Founded in 1879, this magnificent institution is one of the oldest (and largest) art museums in the whole of the US!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re over 300,000 different artefacts to see, so make sure you set aside a few hours (or days) to see it all. It really is one of the best things to do in Chicago if you\u2019re an art fiend. That being said, you might wanna give this spot a miss if you\u2019re not interested in art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a great breakfast spot in Chicago, head over to Lou Mitchell\u2019s (on Jackson Boulevard). It\u2019s so yummy and will totally set you right for a day of exploring.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) Learn about conservation at Shedd<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An aquarium might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of things to see in a major world city, but Chicago\u2019s Shedd Aquarium is not to be missed! It is the largest indoor aquarium in the world, showcasing over 8000 aquatic animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shedd also focuses their efforts to educate, promote and showcase the very best ways we can protect the marine environments and make the oceans a better place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, Shedd was the first inland aquarium to have permanent saltwater exhibits, with salt water taken directly from the seas of Key West and brought to Chicago via railroad tank cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, for some great pancakes in the city, head across to Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe. Honestly, they\u2019re some of the best you\u2019ll ever try.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) Walk The Ledge at the Willis Tower<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What used to be officially called (and is still frequently called) the Sears Tower, the Willis Tower is another iconic skyscraper in downtown Chicago. At 1,451 feet (442 m), this 108-story tall building is officially the tallest in Chicago and offers some incredible views from the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known as the Skydeck, the observation deck in the Willis Tower includes The Ledge, a pretty scary glass ledge and box that you can stand in to see the city below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though, vertigo sufferers are warned! As the glass floors of The Ledge dangle off the side of the building, the sight might be worth giving a miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) Chow down, deep-dish style<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No visit to Chicago would be complete without a hefty and chunky slice of deep-dish pizza. Honestly, it\u2019s a must do and one of the best things to do in Chicago after a long day exploring. With so many places to try, it can be tricky finding the right place for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to try Lou Malnati\u2019s Pizzeria on Wells Street, known for their signature crusts. Or maybe Pequod\u2019s Pizza on North Clybourn Avenue, where food and drinks are served until late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more than just pizza, head to The Art of Pizza on North Ashland Avenue, where you can eat some carby fresh pasta too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.) Stroll across Navy Pier<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stretching out onto Lake Michigan, with its iconic Ferris wheel, is Chicago\u2019s Navy Pier. Here, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy plenty of little boutique shops, yummy restaurants, gardens, seasonal exhibitions, and age-old attractions as you make your way along the whole pier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just over 100 years old, it\u2019s one of the best things to do in Chicago if you want some time to chill. Plus, over the summer months, the Navy Pier has some epic fireworks to watch and are totally amazing. Check out their schedule for their Fireworks nights, here.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, for a yummy and totally iconic place to eat, reserve a table at 3 Arts Club Cafe. It\u2019s stunning and the food is so delicious.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.) Spot The Bean<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Cloud Gate is easily one of the best things to do in Chicago if you love modern art. Fondly referred to as The Bean<\/em>, Cloud Gate is a beautiful and impressive reflective sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located in Millennium Park, Cloud Gate is not only fabulous to see but has come to be a totally iconic part of Chicago. Now, if you want to avoid the crowds around here, you\u2019ll need to visit early in the morning. That being said, a few other people doesn\u2019t dampen the experience and it\u2019s well worth going to see at any time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.) Shop, eat and sleep around the Magnificent Mile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a huge array of shops, international cuisine, live entertainment, and take in some of the most beautiful natural and architectural sites in the city, head for the Magnificent Mile. After all, it\u2019s probably one of Chicago\u2019s most-famous areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mile is a total of 13 blocks along Michigan Avenue, stretching from the banks of the Chicago River up to Oak Street. With over 275 restaurants, 460 stores, 60 hotels, and all sorts of fantastic attractions, the Magnificent Mile is a must-see for anyone in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a great place to stay, check in to the\u00a0Talbott Hotel that\u2019s room are stunning. Plus, it\u2019s a short walk from the John Hancock Building.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.) Enjoy the views at the John Hancock Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Dell<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Choose and manage the right mix of public, private and edge cloud resources with Dell Technologies Cloud. See how with Dell EMC and VMWare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The John Hancock Center is a massive skyscraper located on North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. For me, the 100-story tall building, which stands at 1,127 feet (344 m) tall, is one of the most iconic skyscrapers in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and don\u2019t forget, you can head to 360 CHICAGO, an incredible observation deck on the 94th floor of the building, for breathtaking views of the city, Lake Michigan, and the Magnificent Mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s really great at sunset or if there\u2019s really low fog. Sometimes, the viewing deck will actually be above the clouds. It\u2019s magical.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.) Learn about baseball at Wrigley Field<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"10<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a fan of baseball or not, you have certainly heard about Wrigley Field. Home of the Chicago Cubs, Wrigley Field was opened in 1914, originally as Weeghman Park. The Cubs played their first game there in 1916 when they beat the Cincinnati Reds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, the owner of the popular Wrigley chewing gum bought out the Cubs, and the field was renamed after the company in 1927.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If baseball is your thing, you can enjoy daily and group tours of Wrigley Field, and even catch a game if ya go at the right time. Afterward, for a hearty meal, pop over to The Chicago Diner which will have you stuffed in no time.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Ayush Tours Jaipur","og_description":"The US isn\u2019t just the more popular cities of\u00a0Los Angeles\u00a0and Nashville, there are so many more\u00a0Fun US Cities that sometimes get overlooked when planning a trip to the US. This is why I wanted to share some of the very best things to do in Chicago, it\u2019s a city that has so much going for it and is totally fun to boot!\u00a0 Now, I know it can be a little difficult to whittle down a few key cities to visit in the US, especially if you\u2019re short on vacation time. After all, the sheer size and diversity of the US mean that one end of the country feels very different from the other. This is exactly why I wanted to share a few key tips on the best things to do in Chicago.  I loved visiting and I\u2019m already itching to get back to the windy city. Perched on the banks of Lake Michigan, Chicago has some amazing places to see, especially when you visit for the very first time. Heck, there\u2019s still so many of the best things to do in Chicago even if you\u2019ve visited a few times. It\u2019s the kinda city that\u2019s always changing and there\u2019s always something new popping up. 1.) Chill in Millennium Park Located along Lake Michigan, Millennium Park is the most iconic and exciting green space in Chicago. Originally built for, you guessed it, the millennium; the park is host to lots of different events that take place throughout the year. If you\u2019re visiting, make sure to check the\u00a0schedule of upcoming performances and events as they\u2019re usually pretty good.\u00a0 Dip into a little culture at one of the concerts that are held on the Great Lawn and Jay Pritzker Pavilion areas. If that\u2019s not your thing, swing a ball or two at the famous Wrigley Stadium (or maybe just watch for us novices).  Also, be sure to head to The Crown Fountain for a mix of technology and waterpark-style fun! Stroll down the Chase Promenade, making your way to the big bean (technically known as Cloud Gate).\u00a0 2.) Gorge on Art at the Art Institute of Chicago Nestled in Grant Park, is the gorgeous Art Institute of Chicago. Founded in 1879, this magnificent institution is one of the oldest (and largest) art museums in the whole of the US! They\u2019re over 300,000 different artefacts to see, so make sure you set aside a few hours (or days) to see it all. It really is one of the best things to do in Chicago if you\u2019re an art fiend. That being said, you might wanna give this spot a miss if you\u2019re not interested in art.  For a great breakfast spot in Chicago, head over to Lou Mitchell\u2019s (on Jackson Boulevard). It\u2019s so yummy and will totally set you right for a day of exploring.\u00a0 3.) Learn about conservation at Shedd\u00a0 An aquarium might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of things to see in a major world city, but Chicago\u2019s Shedd Aquarium is not to be missed! It is the largest indoor aquarium in the world, showcasing over 8000 aquatic animals. Shedd also focuses their efforts to educate, promote and showcase the very best ways we can protect the marine environments and make the oceans a better place. Interestingly, Shedd was the first inland aquarium to have permanent saltwater exhibits, with salt water taken directly from the seas of Key West and brought to Chicago via railroad tank cars. Also, for some great pancakes in the city, head across to Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe. Honestly, they\u2019re some of the best you\u2019ll ever try.\u00a0 4.) Walk The Ledge at the Willis Tower What used to be officially called (and is still frequently called) the Sears Tower, the Willis Tower is another iconic skyscraper in downtown Chicago. At 1,451 feet (442 m), this 108-story tall building is officially the tallest in Chicago and offers some incredible views from the top. Known as the Skydeck, the observation deck in the Willis Tower includes The Ledge, a pretty scary glass ledge and box that you can stand in to see the city below. Though, vertigo sufferers are warned! As the glass floors of The Ledge dangle off the side of the building, the sight might be worth giving a miss. 5.) Chow down, deep-dish style No visit to Chicago would be complete without a hefty and chunky slice of deep-dish pizza. Honestly, it\u2019s a must do and one of the best things to do in Chicago after a long day exploring. With so many places to try, it can be tricky finding the right place for you. Make sure to try Lou Malnati\u2019s Pizzeria on Wells Street, known for their signature crusts. Or maybe Pequod\u2019s Pizza on North Clybourn Avenue, where food and drinks are served until late. For more than just pizza, head to The Art of Pizza on North Ashland Avenue, where you can eat some carby fresh pasta too. 6.) Stroll across Navy Pier Stretching out onto Lake Michigan, with its iconic Ferris wheel, is Chicago\u2019s Navy Pier. Here, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy plenty of little boutique shops, yummy restaurants, gardens, seasonal exhibitions, and age-old attractions as you make your way along the whole pier. Just over 100 years old, it\u2019s one of the best things to do in Chicago if you want some time to chill. Plus, over the summer months, the Navy Pier has some epic fireworks to watch and are totally amazing. Check out their schedule for their Fireworks nights, here.\u00a0 Also, for a yummy and totally iconic place to eat, reserve a table at 3 Arts Club Cafe. It\u2019s stunning and the food is so delicious.\u00a0 7.) Spot The Bean The Cloud Gate is easily one of the best things to do in Chicago if you love modern art. Fondly referred to as The Bean, Cloud Gate is a beautiful and impressive reflective sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor.
