Chicago is a family-friendly city, full of attractions for kids that their parents will enjoy as well.
For starters, consider Navy Pier, Millennium Park, the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Chicago Children’s Museum, Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and Field Museum.
That should keep them busy for a while. We have skateboarding parks, boat rides and bike rides – and don’t forget Nike Town, American Girl Place, The Disney Store and other kid-oriented shops. A family vacation in Chicago provides memories that last a lifetime.
