What Sight Seeing Can I Do In Chicago?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    As a result of the ethnic mix in Chicago, visitors will hear up to 50 different languages spoken and witness a culture-fest of annual parades and festivals that jam the social calendar.

    Chicago is therefore rich in attractions and sights. The top three tourist stops are arguably the Art Institute of Chicago, Grant Park and the Sears Tower.

    The Art Institute houses an unsurpassed collection that is both extensive in origin and history, from Monet to African and ancient American.

    Built from reclaimed marshland in the 1890s, Grant Park, meanwhile, is an ideal place to take time out.

    At over 1400 ft, the Sears Tower offers fantastic views over the city so long as you don't suffer from vertigo or impatience to wait in line for the 70 second elevator ride to the 'skydeck'. Around 1.5 million people have made the journey to the top of the 110-storey skyscraper which, depending on your criteria, is either the tallest or second tallest building in the world.

    Most children are bored at the great Art insitute and Grant Park is just a great park with a fountain and Sears tower is now Willis Tower and will scare the bjesus out of anyone with fear of height or free falling elevators....Why did you not mention the Field Musuem and Science Industry and Planetarium and Oak Street Beach and yes there are clothing optional beaches there. McCormick place is totally the place in FEB each year for the Auto EXPO. These alot less scary
