Things to do in Chicago

It’s totally worth it, the collections were gorgeous and engaging. The infrastructure is amazing and a great experience overall. Many things to see and read. Plus all the prestigious artist that have been exhibited in the location.

Amazing 360-degree views of Chicago! The skyline and Lake Michigan look absolutely stunning from above. Highly recommend visiting around sunset to enjoy both the daytime and nighttime views.

875 North Michigan Avenue was that narrow, black skyscraper, like a block of wood stuck at the intersection. The building was pitch black inside; the elevator doors opened onto glass windows, offering a view of Chicago spread out below. The wind was so strong the windows rattled, and the lake was a hazy, indistinct expanse of gray. A child was pressed against the window counting boats, but forgot to finish halfway through. The distant sound of traffic below drifted up like muffled thunder. Feeling dizzy after standing there for a while, I quickly found the elevator and went down.

Grant Park is also a good place to visit for free. The most common people you see are locals doing outdoor sports. Running is very popular and can be seen at different times of the day. There are also some people walking their dogs.

The Field Museum is absolutely massive and you could easily spend hours exploring! There’s an incredible variety of exhibits covering natural history, science, cultures from around the world, conservation, and evolution, with highlights like SUE the T. rex and the beautiful halls throughout the museum. We especially came for the Pokémon Fossil Museum, which was such a creative way to teach about fossils and paleontology by comparing real specimens with Pokémon! You do need to reserve a timed ticket for the Pokémon exhibit in advance, and despite the limited capacity, the small space still felt pretty crowded with lots of families and kids. Overall, though, the Field Museum is beautiful, fascinating, and easily one of Chicago’s must-visit museums!

On the way from Phoenix to Page, we passed through three areas with completely different geological features and vegetation. When we first left Phoenix, we saw columnar cacti on both sides of the road. As the altitude increased, the cacti and other low shrubs disappeared, replaced by tall pine forests, and finally the barren plateau with Danxia landform characteristics. It was amazing!

Walking on the glass ledge induces an exhilarating mix of awe and excitement, making it a must-try for visitors seeking a unique perspective of Chicago's skyline. Whether you're a tourist or a local, the Skydeck's glass walk is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories and stunning photo opportunities. can see 360 degrees the city and beautiful Lake Michigan

Worried about not being able to buy tickets, I bought them online, only to find out later that buying them on-site was cheaper. The scenery here is first-rate, definitely worth the trip. There are some decorations before the elevator, perfect for taking photos 📸, which is quite interesting. Many people arrive before dusk to see both the daytime and nighttime views. Each group has a 2-minute photo time limit; you can queue again if you want to take more photos after that.

My wife and I had a problem with tickets as our flight was delayed and we missed our cruise arrival time. I thought we were out of the prepaid money but I called Shoreline Sightseeing and explained the situation to “Vanessa” at their call center and she immediately helped me. The day/time was rescheduled at no added cost. “Vanessa” was very helpful, friendly, and handled things professionally. We couldn’t have been happier with the Customer Service she extended to us and strongly recommend their services based on that alone. Updates on the cruise forthcoming. Thanks again “Vanessa” for insuring our trip to Chicago was memorable!
