Best Things to Do in Chicago
Chicago has something for everyone -- museums, gardens, sports and bars are some of the highlights. Get the lay of the land from sky-high perches at the Sears (Willis) Tower or the Hancock Observatory before spending some time in the city's top-notch museums, such as the Field Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago or the Museum of Science and Industry. If you prefer to be outside, see "da Cubs" play at Wrigley Field, admire the sculptures in Millennium Park or shop the boutiques lining the Magnificent Mile.
