The Art Institute of 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.

360 CHICAGO

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

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

Grant Park was quite spacious. Buckingham Fountain sprayed water high into the air, and children ran around the pool, not caring that their pants were getting wet. Many people lay on the lawn, some sunbathing, some doing somersaults. Under that big tree, someone was playing guitar, the tune languidly playing. In the distance, you could see the rows of large columns of the museum. I sat on a bench and ate an apple, pigeons swarming around waiting for the crumbs to fall. A cool breeze blew by, making me want to stay put.

Field Museum

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!

Chicago Botanic Garden

The botanical garden is fifty years old and covers a very large area. We only visited a small area, but we have to say that the scenery of the botanical garden is really good. There were very few people, probably because it was a little late when we came.
