There\u2019s almost an endless amount of things to do, so how do you figure it all out? What\u2019s the key to a good time in Chicago? Here are all the things you\u2019ll need to consider to visit Chicago the right way.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/millennium-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Millennium Park<\/a> is a Must<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And all of <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/grant-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grant Park<\/a> isn\u2019t very far behind. This is a fairly touristy area, but unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/navy-pier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Navy Pier<\/a>, native Chicagoans often go here to hang out and pass the time. There are always events going on at the park, and it\u2019s large enough that you can find a place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city if you so choose. Of course you\u2019ll want to see Cloud Gate or, \u201cthe Bean,\u201d as we call it. Buckingham Fountain isn\u2019t too far to the south either. The fountain produces a major water display for 20 minutes every hour on the hour, and they add a light show element at night.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This next one is fairly obvious but\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Come Here in the Summer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong, there\u2019s still plenty to do in the winter: checking out Macy\u2019s decorated windows, ice skating at <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/millennium-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Millennium Park<\/a>, Zoolights at <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/lincoln-park-zoo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lincoln Park Zoo<\/a>, the Christkindlmarket &amp; the huge Christmas tree in Daley Plaza. But it\u2019s cold. And I\u2019m not talking chilly, I mean <em>bitter, glacial, subzero, I wish I was covered in fur<\/em> cold. As Chicagoans, we\u2019ve come to embrace it, but if you\u2019re used to a milder climate, you\u2019re going to want to avoid it. Besides, there\u2019s a lot more going on here in the summer anyway.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find the Hotel that Best Suits You<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is it location? Do you need a pool? Best Rates? Biggest Rooms? With Chicago\u2019s hundreds of choices, there\u2019s bound to be a hotel that fits your needs. Don\u2019t just accept the first one that comes along. There are some phenomenal, iconic hotels in the city that have recently undergone renovations. Some newer hotels pamper you in a more contemporary setting. Other smaller boutique hotels offer a more intimate experience. Here are some guides by area to help make the decision a bit easier: <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/premiere-hotels-in-the-loop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Loop<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/the-best-hotels-in-river-north\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">River North<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/the-finest-hotels-near-the-mag-mile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Magnificent Mile<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Magnificent Mile\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do You Like Shopping?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not everyone vacations to go shopping, so if you\u2019re not interested go ahead and skip this part. Chicago has some phenomenal retail options, but be prepared to spend some dough if you\u2019re buying things in the city. The highlights include the <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/the-shops-at-north-bridge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shops at North Bridge<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/water-tower-place\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Water Tower Place<\/a>, and the one-million plus square foot <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/merchandise-mart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Merchandise Mart<\/a>. Of course, these are all easily dwarfed by <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/5-reasons-why-the-magnificent-mile-will-spoil-you-for-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Mag Mile<\/a> though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Visit the Skydeck<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Willis Tower\u2019s Skydeck is the highest point in the city, and it\u2019s obviously a huge draw since it\u2019s the biggest skyscraper in the U.S. You can see four surrounding states from this bad boy, and if nothing else, you might be able to spot something you\u2019d like to check out. The views here are truly breathtaking though, so trust me when I saw you won\u2019t be disappointed. To make the most of the experience, show up about an hour before sundown. This way you can see the daytime view of the city, the sunset, and the gleaming nightscape afterwards. <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/willis-tower-skydeck-a-complete-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here\u2019s a guide<\/a> with all the info you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Go to at Least One Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chicago\u2019s museums are second to none. While they\u2019re all worth a visit, you should make time to hit at least one that piques your interest. An easy pick might be the <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/art-institute-of-chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Art Institute<\/a>, which was recently <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/news\/opinion\/editorials\/ct-art-institute-museum-edit-0919-20140919-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rated the top museum<em> <strong>in the entire world<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by TripAdvisor. Let that one sink in for a moment\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Moving on, the <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/shedd-aquarium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shedd Aquarium<\/a> is always a great choice, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/adler-planetarium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adler Planetarium<\/a> is often overlooked, yet underrated. <a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/field-museum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Field Museum<\/a> is another big hit, and you can see \u201cSue,\u201d the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever pieced together. If you\u2019re looking for a cheaper option, Lincoln Park Zoo is free 365 days out of the year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let us know if you have any other suggestions by commenting or emailing us at Tips@Chicagogenie.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago attracts millions of visitors every year with some of our largest events, attractions, shows, and sightseeing activities.
