Default what to do in chicago?

i'm with my 2-year old and the whole family, so no clubbing, no naked girls, and absolutely no parties

any recommendation besides the museums? we've already gone to the pier and saw the huge anchor...

any good korean or chinese restaurants here?

well there goes your chance for anything fun.


Have you ever been to the top of the Sears Tower?
more info here

Shedd Aquarium
more info here ... or here

Lincoln Park Zoo (it's free )
more info here

and depending when you are here this is always some sort of festival going on...

for example if you are here right now you should go check out...
Taste of Randolph Street
more info here

hope that helps a little I am really limited on ideas when you take out the naked girls and toss a 2 year old into the equation

To find a decent chinese restaurant you should stop by Chinatown (Cermak and Wentworth).
Also, you and you're family should check out the Chicago Architectural River Tour.

ok, did the randolph street thing, and saw the top of the sears tower. the funny thing is i've been visiting chicago regularly for the past 20 years and never felt the need to see the building until today. pretty nice

tomorrow will be museums thanks guys! next time we'll do the architectural tour.
