About 10Best's Chicago Attractions & Activities Selections:

What to do? The choices are almost limitless in Chicago. If you’re unfamiliar with the town, an organized tour is a good place to start. River cruises highlight the city’s unique architecture. Once acclimated, just name an activity, and plenty of options leap in your direction. An admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright? Two of his Chicagoland homes, Robie House and Oak Park, are open to visitors. Instiutions like the venerable Field Museum are top destinations for many tourists. For bird’s-eye perspectives of the city, the observation levels of the Hancock Building and Sears Tower have few peers. Horticulture aficionados find that Garfield Park Conservatory, Lincoln Park Conservatory, and other public gardens offer displays of rare and beautiful flora; meanwhile, kids and animal-lovers adore award-winning Brookfield Zoo. During your downtime, visit ultra-modern Millennium Park and its stunning "Crown Fountain.” And, of course, a jog or stroll along Lake Shore Park is a must. You won’t find a more postcard-perfect view of the skyline – just be careful crossing busy Lake Shore Drive.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow show is a perfect Halloween treat that won't scare the little ones. The Nutcracker show for the holidays has to be seen to be believed. It truly is a ballet on horseback. The building for the performances was orginally built as a stable in 1871 – a historical landmark restored in 2000. There is a meet and greet after the show, so remember a carrot or apple for the performers. This is affordable family fun that is suitable for all ages. A real hidden jewel!
