Things to do in Chicago?
 

Looking at taking the family up there over Thanksgiving weekend. Any suggestions?

I was just in Chicago 2 weekends ago for a wedding. We went to the Science & Industry Museum (meh), the Art Institute of Chicago (AWESOME!) and Millennium Park (great). Also walked around Michigan Avenue a lot. Really enjoyed the city. If I had more time I would have hit up more museums, Navy Pier and spent more time exploring Rush street at night. ;)

I bumped an old thread for you.

Museum of Science and Industry RULES. Especially for a crappy weather time of year, I recommend this as the No. 1 thing to do. The Shedd Aquarium is also very interesting. Near the Aquarium is the Field Museum, but personally I found it to be a bit boring. I've never been to the Adler Planetarium or the Art Museum.

I enjoyed the Science and Industry museum since I enjoy that type of stuff. I was disappointed somewhat, however, because I think it could be a lot more hands-on. I really enjoyed the Art Institute of Chicago, however.

Perhaps I'll go to the Art Institute one of these days. I'm not much of an art guy, though.

Wear a shirt that says World Series Wins in the last 100 years: Royals 1, Cubs 0.

Just a thought

The Field and Science Museums are cool. The Aquarium and Field Museums are next to eachother pretty much. Rush St is fun at night though if you have underage kids then I wouldnt suggest it.

You can go to Wrigleyville and Uptown and there are some small theatre plays, comedy clubs......Second City is in old town, thats where many SNL cast members begin their careers. The couple on the sonic commercials I think are still there working, they are really funny in real life.

Michigan Ave is fun if you wanna spend shit tons of money. The kids would like Nike Town and FAO Schwartz though you better bring your checkbook. Navy Pier is eh IMO. Take them on the Farris Wheel. ESPN Zone is off of Michigan Ave and Superior I wanna say. There's Mike Ditkas resturant downtown which I liked a lot. IF you like Italian I suggest Sopranos right outside Wrigleyville.

Theres a lot to do in Chicago where you really can't do it all in just a couple days. My grandma lives in Uptown and I go there about 2-3 times year. I get ****in shitfaced in Wrigleyville and Rush St, though Im in my early 20s.

Or a shirt that says BWillie007 is a douche.

And that's coming from a Cardinals fan.

You can arrive
on little cat feet.

And sit looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then move on.

Piss on the Harry Caray statue in front of Wrigley while wearing an Albert Pujols jersey.

They love that. :evil:

Albert Poopholes likes rainbows.

If you have deep pockets take the family to Morton's for steak. It's pretty pricey but it's awesome steak!! Order a porterhouse...it's only bout 50 bucks but it's great!

I received some great advice on here about Chicago the first time I visited there.
