Heading to Chicago on business in May. Working on a few extra days to see the city etc. Will probably catch the braves game at Wrigley and go up in the sears tower. Other than food, is there any other things to do/see people can offer up?

Thanks
 
Check out a blonde named Crystal on 43rd and Vine St. Tell her to give you the Bill Clinton special.:lol:
 
:lol: , Tom

The John Hancock Center is almost as tall and I remember it being easier to get in than the Sears Tower.

There is a riverboat tour that is pretty cool, if the weather is nice. The Art Institute and Millennium Park are both cool. There's the Navy Pier, as well... I'll try to think of some other things, it has been almost 8 years since I was there last.
 
I was already planning on checking out Crystal!

I had forgotten about the Navy Pier. Someone had mentioned that to me a couple years ago as well. Thanks

Navy pier is kind of lame IMO.

The architectural boat tours are pretty neat too, althoug ha little pricy.
If you like high-calorie pizza, hit Uno's or Duo's. But they are packed every night.

Oh and get your wallet ready its a pricy town.

I'll be going march 30-april 4.

Yeah it def. is pricey. I was there for a few days a year and half ago. Fortunately the company will pick up about 95% of the tab leaving me with very little to worry about. My parents told me the boat tour was good, and of course you can't go to Chicago without high calorie pizza.
 
Another vote for the Museum of Sceince and Industry...you just cannot go wrong. The Field Museum is great too.
The Art Instute of Chicago is listed as one of the top places in the US. There is art there(painting,sculpture), and there is "art" there(puke on canvas, poop on a stick modern art).
Connies Pizza down on Archer is good pizza if you are looking for something a little different.
Michigan Ave/Magnificent Mile is fun.
Some of the suburbs are pretty cool..Naperville and St. Charles have little "downtown" areas . Aurora and Joliet have casinos.
If you are looking for a 1/2 to 3/4 day trip, take I-80 toward Peru/LaSalle and visit Starved Rock State Park. Great little hiking and picnic spot.
I lived up there from 99-05. Let me know if you are looking for something specific.
