Things To Do

There are so many fun things to do in Chicago! You could visit Millennium Park and take a photo at "the bean" (one of Chicago's most popular sites), explore Magnificent Mile or the Chicago Riverwalk, go on a river architectural tour, take in 360-degree views at Skydeck Chicago, visit Navy Pier, the Lincoln Park Zoo or one of our many museums, and don't forget about the deep dish pizza! If you feel like venturing outside of the downtown area (the Loop), we've noted a few of our favorite spots in our Wicker Park neighborhood.
