Things to Do and See in Chicago

Field Museum

Tours & Boats Architecture Tours

Shedd Aquarium

The Art Institute of Chicago

Baltimore Orioles at Chicago White Sox

Plenty of food, drinks, events, and nightlife all surrounding Wrigley Field. (Unfortunately the Cubs are in St. Louis this weekend)

Chicago Wrigleyville

Wicker park neighborhood has tons of food, drink, and all types of shops that feel a little more local and less flashy than Wrigleyville. From downtown taking the Blue Line and getting off at Division or Damen and walking around is the best way to get there. There should be a Framers market Sunday morning in the park
