Known worldwide as the “Windy City,” Chicago sits proudly on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan. Home of the first skyscraper, the citys skyline remains an impressive sight. Cities of Chicagos size can sometimes overwhelm visitors who are unfamiliar with the area. Two locations that provide terrific local information are Chicago Water Works Visitor Center at 163 East Pearson and the Chicago Cultural Center Information Center at 77 East Randolph. One fun place to begin your visit is at the Skydeck atop the Willis Tower. From here you are atop what was once the tallest building in the world and can see an amazing 50 miles. Just a mile from the Skydeck is Millennium Park, a 24-acre park complete with major performance venues offering wonderful public events and activities that change with Chicagos varied seasons. Chicago is a superb place for museum goers of all types. Art connoisseurs wont want to miss an opportunity to visit the Art Institute of Chicago. At about one million square feet, it is the second largest art museum in the nation, as well as a world-renowned venue. For those even mildly curious about how things work, theMuseum of Science and Industry is the place to visit. With 2,000 exhibits in 75 halls, visitors can see a working coal mine, a World War II German submarine and so much more. For anyone who enjoys live performance, Chicago offers many options. Some argue that one of the biggest influences on American comedy has been The Second City, an improvisational troupe performing in the Old Town District. For the more serious theater patron, Chicago offers th Steppenwolf Theater. Founded in 1974, this Tony Award-winning company delivers dramatic performances. If you are looking for a single attraction that includes shopping, restaurants, boat cruises, entertainment and much more, head to Navy Pier. The young and young-at-heart will revel in Pier Park, which features a 7-minute Ferris Wheel ride.FROM I-88 (EAST-WEST TOLLWAY), TAKE THE HIGHWAY 59 EXIT SOUTH TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE TURN LEFT ONTO DIEHL ROAD TRAVEL LESS THAN 1/4 MILE TURN RIGHT ONTO BOND STREETHOTEL WILL BE ON THE RIGHT
