Going to Chicago this week - any recommendations for restaurants and sites to see?
There is so much to experience in Chicago, it鈥檚 difficult to know where to begin. You may want to start with an overview of the city. First, see the expanse of the Chicagoland area from 1,000 feet above at the John Hancock Observatory or the Sears Tower Skydeck. At Navy Pier, Time Escape is a 3-D motion simulation experience allowing you to travel through Chicago鈥檚 history, present and future. There are a variety of boat tours departing from Navy Pier and other city locations, as well as city bus tours, which point out significant landmarks and provide interesting information about Chicago and its history. See our tours section for more tour information and see our Navy Pier section for more exciting things to do while you鈥檙e there. You can even take a Chauffeured Progressive Dining Tour.

The Museum Campus, near Soldier Field, is home to The Field Museum and the Adler Planetarium, two excellent museums. See our museums section for more information.

Two of the finest zoos in the country are located in the Chicago area and both are highly recommended. First, on the city鈥檚 north side is Lincoln Park Zoo.
