Chicago Attractions Your Family Will Love

Posted on: September 2nd, 2011 by paul

Chicago is one of the largest cities in the United States, and it has plenty of family friendly attractions to make it a popular vacation destination. The city has everything that a family is going to want from a vacation, whether you are looking for some cultural excursions or a day of pure excitement. The following are a few of the things that you might want to do while you are in town.

The lake offers 33 beaches as well as jogging trails and bike paths. In the heat of the summer, a trip to the beach is always nice, yet even in the winter it has its own charm and beauty. Make sure you bundle up if you are visiting the area in the winter though – they call it the Windy City for a reason!

 

One of the most popular places to visit while you are in town is Navy Pier. The pier offers a Ferris wheel as well as other rides and games. Visitors to the pier will also be able to check out the Children’s Museum and find many places to have a bite to eat. Make sure you try some authentic Chicago style hotdogs and deep dish pizza while you are in the city.

 

Lincoln Park Zoo is a great attraction too. You will be able to see a number of different animals. Another attraction that the kids are going to enjoy is the Shedd Aquarium, which is the world’s largest indoor aquarium. The Field Museum, a natural history museum, is another great attraction full of exhibits about dinosaurs, animals and more.

 

The above attractions barely scratch the surface of all there is to see and do while you are in Chicago. No matter your age, where you are flying from, and or what type of entertainment you enjoy, you will find it in Chicago.
