Stay north and outside the city- take the train system in. Very efficient. Costs
way too much to stay in the city.

Do all the tourist stuff but for sure do the architecture boat tour. That’s so much better than you’d think.

One thing I thought was horrible was their aquarium. Everyone said how good it was. I thought it was one of the most basic and frankly boring aquariums I’d been to.

That city is a lot of fun. Navy Pier at night has a fantastic fireworks show on some evenings. Check the schedule.

How long are you there? Might I suggest renting a car- driving a few hours to Springfield and do the Lincoln Library and town. It’s really great. Hannibal Missouri (I might have town wrong- but it’s on the way) and Mark Twain recreated town, then head to Nauvoo and do all the church stuff.

It’s all worth it. The drive is about 4 hours each way from Chicago as I recall.
