mammal pavilion. Visit the planetarium for a celestial experience or go backward
in time at the Field Museum, which showcases more than 16 million artifacts of
anthropology, botany, geology and zoology. The green expanse between the museums
is a great place to stretch your legs, have an afternoon picnic or just gaze at
the Chicago skyline.

Opened in 1916 as a shipping
facility and recreation spot, Navy Pier has evolved into one of Chicago's top
family and tourist destinations. Some of the attractions include the three-story
Chicago Children's Museum and live entertainment on the Skyline Stage. Amazing
Chicago is a life-sized maze that's part history and mostly fun, with mirrored
corridors and twisted tunnels that depict Chicago scenes. When visitors are
ready for refueling, they'll find everything from fine dining to food-court
fare. And no visit to the Pier is complete without a spin on the 150-foot-high
Ferris wheel with its great views of the skyline and lake.

schedule
Admission Charged
A Chicago landmark since 1914,
this classic ballpark is a monument to the national pastime. From the ivy
clinging to the outfield wall to the manually operated scoreboard, Wrigley Field
is the real deal. There isn't a bad seat in the intimate, 39,000-seat house,
save for a few behind the supporting beams. The usually rowdy crowd keeps
Wrigley lively with sacred traditions like throwing the opposing team's home run
balls back onto the field and traditional outfield chants.
