Attractions in Chicago:
Navy Pier
The Midwest's top tourist destination – walk along the boardwalk, ride the 150-foot Ferris wheel, enjoy boat and segway tours, and discover countless dining or shopping options.
Millennium Park
http://www.millenniumpark.org/
Offers dazzling music, art, landscape design and architecture – including the mammoth stainless-steel Cloud Gate sculpture – plus ice skating in the winter, splashing around in the interactive Crown Fountain during summer, and alfresco dining from spring to fall.
The Willis Tower Skydeck
At the Willis Tower Skydeck, the view is amazing! You can see 40 – 50 miles (65 - 80 kilometers) on a clear day. Imagine seeing Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, just by walking around the Skydeck. And there's no finer view of Chicago architecture.
Lincoln Park Zoo
Lincoln Park Zoo offers a world of wildlife in the shadow of skyscrapers. Located within a verdant park just minutes north of Chicago, the zoo has been a natural, free oasis for generations of animal lovers, who come to hear a lion's roar echo off nearby apartment buildings, see gorillas climb trees as the Willis Tower looms in the distance, or forget where they are as they immerse themselves in tropical rainforests, dry-thorn forests or spacious savannas.
