I'm going on vacation in Chicago in a couple weeks with my parents. What are some good places to vist, shop, etc? I'm only 15, so no bars or anything like that, haha. I don't just want a Googled list, though. From personal experience, what was best? Like if you visited, or live there.


thank you in advance! =]

I don't live there, but I live close, and go quite often. For shopping, just walk up and down the Magnificent Mile (Michigan Avenue). They have all the shopping you need. Seriously. The Watertower Place mall is a must (Michigan Avenue). Perhaps go to Wrigley and catch a Cubs Game =) Or you could see a sox game... if you're into that... Navy Pier is fun, but there's not TONS to do there. It's cute for an evening though. I love the Museum of Science and Industry. The Field Museum is good too, but S&I is way better, in my opinion. The Lincoln Park Zoo is always fun. Shedd Aquaruim is another fun option. You could check out the Art Institute of Chicago. Millenium Park is nice. Of course, the Sears Tower. Also, Oprah tapes in Chicago! Hah.

My favorite place in Chicago is Virgin Records. It's such a cool store, I spend 2 hours minimum in there everytime I'm in Chicago. It's on Michigan avenue, so if you see it, you should definitely check it out.


As for food: Another columnist mentioned pizza. They're right, there's no beating Chicago deep dish. I highly highly suggest you go to Giordano's. They have the best pizza I've ever had. I also love to go to the Hard Rock Cafe. Mainly for 3 reasons: 1)Music is my favorite thing, so I love the atmosphere. 2)There's a waiter there that I swear I will marry someday that I usually get when I go there. 3) The Twisted Macaroni is REALLY GOOD. ESPN Zone is also very fun. They have this huge arcade that's cool to go play around in when you're waiting on your food.
