The Marvels Of Chicago Attractions

By Burt Clarkson

The city of Chicago is quite the spectacle. For those visiting for the very first time, it helps to know which Chicago attractions to start with. First off, I recommend the John Hancock Observatory and also the Chicago occupational health services Skydeck located at the Sears Tower. Here you will get a truly magnificent view of this grand city.

Next you might want to discover your roots, if they come from this part of the country that is. Regardless, take a walk on Navy Pier. You'll find the TimeScape that allows you to experience the history of Chicago in a really neat three dimensional journey with motion simulation and all. In Navy Pier, you can also take time for some fun at the Funhouse Maze of Chicago.

Those activities would be fun, as they would allow you to really explore in ways you never thought possible. Then for the children, there is a really fun yet educational Chicago attraction that will win raving fans. It's the FireZone, and it is a very neat learning experience where kids will interact with firefighters and fire engines and learn the basics of fire safety. Adults will probably like it too.

If it's romance you're looking for, there is no shortage of Chicago boat tours to go on. One of these is the Odyssey, and it's as romantic as they get. You'll be able to send a few hours basking in the luxury of this ship, as you enjoy entertainment second to none, along with fine wine, music and the best skyline vistas you could ask for.

The best part is that in the summer, your cruise will be complemented by firework shows on Wednesdays and Sundays. This really creates the perfect mood for a romantic getaway.

In addition to all this, there are plenty more ways to see Chicago attractions. One of the best ways is by bus with tour. Not only would you see sites that you didn't even know about before, but you'll get some unique insight on them by the experienced and knowledgeable tour guides.

If your thing is more specific tours, then there is a great dining tour that will appeal to all food connoisseurs. There are also plenty of family tours where you can take the kids. Even better, there are two wonderful zoos in Chicago. The Lincoln Park Zoo has always had a reputation for being one of the best even though it is the country's oldest. The best part is that it is free.

The other one is Brookfield Zoo located west of downtown Chicago. The zoo is beautifully landscaped and is the home of over two thousand animals. Other Chicago attractions that are well noted are the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium. - 2361
