Things to See and Do in Chicago

Chicago features all the offerings you would expect in any major city – from vibrant shopping districts and ample nightlife venues to world-class museums – just to mention a few. Hiring a Chicago charter bus rental will allow you to explore the best attractions in the city. Below are some of the best things to see in Chicago:

1

GRANT PARK & BUCKINGHAM FOUNTAIN

Grant Park, which is often called “Chicago’s front yard”, is a 319-acre swath of green space starting at the eastern edge of the Loop and stretching all the way to the northern fringes of Near South Side. This is where you will find Chicago’s most popular things to see and do, including Shedd Aquarium, Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, and much more.

At Grant Park’s heart, you will find the Buckingham Fountain. One of the biggest fountains in the entire world, this tiered water feature has 133 jets capable of shooting water as high as 150 feet during the 20-minute choreographed displays which usually take place every hour. At night, the performance of the fountains is accompanied by music and lights.

2

MILLENIUM PARK

Located in the Loop, Millenium Park is a 24.5-acre space that is used to showcase cutting edge landscaping, architecture, and art. The park also acts as a backdrop for both festivals and concerts.

Most tourists park their charter buses in Millenium Park to view the Crown Fountain & Cloud Gate, which is also known as “The Bean”. Designed by Jaume Plensa – a Spanish artist – the Crown Fountain has 2 fifty-foot towers that face each other at the ends of its shallow reflecting pool. The tower has LED screens that project the faces of over 1,000 Chicago residents which are aligned with sprouts perfectly to look like they are spitting water on those passing by. Created by Anish Kapoor – a British artist – Cloud Gate is a 110-ton sculpture featuring a bean shape forged from stainless steel. The Bean’s elliptical shape reflects Chicago’s skyline.

3

 LINCOLN PARK ZOO

Home to dozens of species, such as hippos, zebras, and sloths, Lincoln Park is an ideal destination once you book a Chicago charter bus rental. Visitors get the chance to see the zoo’s animals in their natural habitat.

To view the gorillas, simply head to the Regenstein Center where African apes spend their time. If you would rather get close and personal with the seals, head to the Kovler Seal Pool.

4

NAVY PIER

Navy Pier has a lot to offer in terms of family-friendly entertainment. The first thing you will notice when your charter bus rental gets you to the pier is the Ferris wheel which features a height of 196 feet.

You will find a carousel and swing-seat rides. Once the kids have had enough thrill rides, you can enjoy some time on the miniature golf course or head to the Chicago Children’s museum. Concerts are pretty common on Navy Pier. You can also catch a show at Chicago’s Shakespeare Theater.

5

 360 CHICAGO OBSERVATION DECK

Towering 1,000 feet over The Magnificent Mile from its location on John Hancock Center’s 94th floor, the 360 Chicago Observation Deck offers the best skyline experience. Featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, the observation deck features expansive views of the Chicago city – on a clear day, you will be able to see for 55 miles in all directions.

To enjoy a different point of view (plus an adrenaline rush), consider the 360 Chicago’s tilt. In the mechanized room, you will get to hold onto some handlebars as the top of the room’s windows extend outward, tilting you toward the bustling North Michigan Avenue below.

6

THE CHICAGO RIVERWALK

The Chicago Riverwalk – a 1.25-mile pedestrian walkway available on the Chicago River south bank – is the most ideal place to take a walk and enjoy observing the city skyline. Plus there are various activities to enjoy on the water, including boat tours and kayaking.

If you prefer dry land, you can explore the art displays and public gardens. If you get hungry, you can grab a meal at a bar or a restaurant overlooking the Chicago River.

7

THE CHICAGO THEATRE

Situated at the northern edge of the Loop and illuminating the North State Street, The Chicago Theatre opened doors for the first time in 1921 as a performance venue and extravagant movie theatre. Throughout the years, the theatre has hosted big names such as Lewis Black, Diana Ross, and Duke Ellington.

Although the theatre had fallen into disarray in the 1970s, full renovation in the 1980s and new management has helped return it to its former glory. Today, the theatre is used for a variety of musical, theatrical, and comedic performances.

8

 MAGGIE DALEY PARK

Located in downtown Chicago, Maggie Daley Park is a perfect destination for both adults and kids. The park features a mini-golf course, a climbing wall, a public garden, an ice skating rink, a tennis facility, and a playground.

Whatever you choose to do in the park, you will be impressed that the park offers fantastic views of Chicago’s skyline. The park is open 365 days every year, from 6 am to 11 pm

9

SKYDECK CHICAGO

Occupying the 103rd floor of the 110-story Willis Tower, the Skydeck Chicago features breathtaking views of Chicago city. If you visit on a sunny day, you will be able to see beyond Chicago’s borders to Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, and other parts of Illinois.

The highlight for the Skydeck Chicago is the Ledge. Extending beyond the exterior of the building, this platform is made entirely of glass – even its floor.

10

NORTH AVENUE BEACH

Situated directly on Lake Michigan, North Avenue Beach is one of the best swimming spots in Chicago. The sandy beach features volleyball courts, plenty of space for the visitors, and spectacular skyline views.

The beach is perfect for running, biking, and relaxing. You, however, have to keep in mind that it can get busy on the hot days.
