What are some fun things to do on a vacation to chicago?
mommy2two asked:
My family and I are going on vacation to chicago and i was looking for some fun things to do. My child is three and we were planning on going to the Field Museum of Natural History and the Shedd Aquarium. Is there anything else cool to do? How much does a taxi cost there? Are there any good restaurants to go to? We were planning on going to the ESPN zone and the Rainforest cafe.

Depends on what time of year - Shedd a good place for kids any time of year. For a 3-year old, perhaps the Children’s Museum at Navy Pier would be a better choice than Natural History. If it’s nice outside, Lincoln Park Zoo and Petting Zoo are free (and GREAT) and the 151 bus goes straight there from downtown.
Re: restaurants, Rainforest is a chain, there are more “Chicago” places to choose from, I agree deep dish pizza is more unique and still kid-friendly, like Giordano’s. Taxi cost depends on where you are going - busses are easy and I think $2/person. Parking is expensive, don’t drive in if you can help it - if you are flying, take a cab or train in, don’t bother renting a car, you won’t use it and it’s like $30/day to park downtown.

You can’t come to Chicago without having some deep dish pizza. Check out Giordano’s. It’s the best pizza, it’s family friendy and there are a lot of locations downtown.
