The main city of Illinois offers plenty to do, whether you’re
looking to visit, or planning to make Chicago your new home. Come and
watch the magic of the Chicago Bulls, enjoy a White Sox game, or try to
beat the curse of the Chicago Cubs.
Educate yourself in the
Harold Washington Library Center, the world’s larges public library
which holds two million books, or visit the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and
Studio, which took thirteen years to restore. Enjoy the view of the
Windy City from the 103rd floor of the Skydeck in the Sears Tower, or
take a walk on the open-air sky walk at the Hancock Observatory, where
you can view as far as Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana.
Take
the kids to the Brookfield Zoo where they can see over two thousand
animals, or have a robot guide you through the history of Chicago on
the Time Escape ride at Navy Pier. The Chicago Air and Water Show is a
free show every August that showcases the Navy Blue Angels, but if you
want to spend some money, the Magnificent Mile is a one-mile stretch of
land that hosts 460 shops.
The Chicago Cultural Center hosts
numerous shows throughout the year, but no visit to Chicago would be
complete without taking in a show at the world famous Apollo Theater.
With forty museums and over six thousand restaurants, it’s hard to be
bored in Chicago. It’s even harder to do everything worthwhile in one
trip.
