You’ve seen The Bean, Buckingham Fountain, and Water Tower Place, but Chicago is filled with other types of entertaining and affordable activities. We’ve rounded up a list of the top things to do in Chicago.
Take a stroll through Humboldt Park
If you’re looking for free things to do in Chicago this weekend, we recommend this 207 acre park. Thanks to its trails, boathouse, and greenery, you’ll be immersed in nature within the city limits.
Go to the Logan Square Farmers Market
Happening every Sunday year-round (outdoors in the summer, indoors in the winter), the Logan Square Farmers Market is a great way to experience Chicago like a local. With fresh produce, cheeses, coffee, jams and more, there is something for everyone at this vast market.
See a live show at an intimate venue
Another top thing to do in Chicago is visit a small, intimate music venue to support local artists. Beat Kitchen is a concert venue, comedy club, bar, and restaurant all wrapped into one. Seeing a show at a cool local venue in Chicago makes the experience that much more memorable.
Visit the Garfield Park Conservatory
Located in Chicago’s West Side, the Garfield Park Conservatory is one of the largest greenhouse conservatories in the United States. It provides significant horticultural collections and lush gardens, so you can experience nature within the city, even on a rainy day.
Grab a bite to eat at The Albert
Another top thing to do in the city of Chicago is grab some good food in a unique environment at a destination such as The Albert. With its book-lined walls, vintage decor, and contemporary cuisine, your dining experience will be unmatched.
