On Your Own Suggestions
- Enjoy free admission to Millennium Park, an award-winning center for art, music, architecture, and landscape design in the heart of downtown Chicago. See the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the most sophisticated outdoor concert venue of its kind in the United States; the interactive Crown Fountain; the contemporary Lurie Garden, and the popular Cloud Gate sculpture.
- Visit the Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio in Oak Park. Renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright began building this house in 1889. As his style developed, Wright made unique additions to it to suit his needs. Today, guided tours showcase his studio, its chain-hung balcony, and a playroom that offers treetop views designed for his children.
- Step inside the Lincoln Park Conservatory and find tropical palms and ancient ferns—right in the heart of Chicago. Stroll through four display houses—Palm House, Fern Room, Orchid House, and Show House—and let yourself be transported away. Open daily; admission is free.
- Try a slice of authentic Chicago-style pizza at the original Gino’s East of Chicago, considered the best in town. Here, deep-dish Chicago pizza oozes with cheese, rich sauce, and fresh toppings.
- Catch a Cub’s game at Wrigley Field, the second-oldest ballpark in the major league. The park has been the site of many historic moments, such as Babe Ruth’s “called shot,” Pete Rose’s 4,191st career hit, and Sammy Sosa’s 60th home runs in 1998, 1999, and 2001. Take a guided tour for an insider’s look at more than 90 years of history in this legendary ballpark.
