The city of Chicago is quite the spectacle. For those visiting for the very first time, it helps to know which Chicago attractions to start with. First off, I recommend the John Hancock Observatory and also the Chicago occupational health services Skydeck located at the Sears Tower. Here you will get a truly magnificent view of this grand city.
Next you might want to discover your roots, if they come from this part of the country that is. Regardless, take a walk on Navy Pier. You'll find the TimeScape that allows you to experience the history of Chicago in a really neat three dimensional journey with motion simulation and all. In Navy Pier, you can also take time for some fun at the Funhouse Maze of Chicago.
It would be a fun activity for friends and family having twisted underground tunnels, mirror mazes and dazzling skyscrapers to unravel. For the kids and kids at heart, one of the Chicago attractions that you can check out is the FireZone. It is a unique interactive environment teaching the basics of fire safety. There are real firefighters and fire engines in the property integrated into the educational displays resulting in a fun learning environment.
For a romantic getaway, there are a number of boat tours available for you in Chicago. Come on board the Odyssey and prepare for a romantic lake cruise. Spend two to three hours in this luxurious cruise ship complete with fabulous entertainment, gourmet meals, excellent wine selection, live music and spectacular skyline views.
The best part is that in the summer, your cruise will be complemented by firework shows on Wednesdays and Sundays. This really creates the perfect mood for a romantic getaway.
From boat tours to road trips, Chicago attractions can be explored by taking the city bus tours. The tours would lead you to different Chicago landmarks and tour guides will entertain you with a wealth of information regarding the city's colorful history.
While you are out, don't forget to join one of the many tours that see different niche parts of the city. There is a gourmet dining tour, tours for kids, and plenty of others. And in addition to that, there are also two awesome zoos in Chicago. One of them, the Lincoln Park Zoo, is the oldest in the U.S. but is still one of the best to visit. And my favorite part of it is that it is free to visit all year round.
The other one is Brookfield Zoo located west of downtown Chicago. The zoo is beautifully landscaped and is the home of over two thousand animals. Other Chicago attractions that are well noted are the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium.
