Ice skate in the winter, beer garden in the summer. Park Grill, the "Bean", Park Grill, Pritzker Pavillion- free bands and festivals. What's not to like? Read more.
Really nice trail for walking/running, biking. Pretty busy when the weather is nicer. Also goes by a number of nice parks and beaches
Always free, this facility is an amazing oasis in the city, especially on cold winter days. Their seasonal displays are amazing and the fern room is a child's dream. The kids garden is underwhelming.
If you want a long time to check everything out and get hungry, check out the cafe! Very good food in a lovely courtyard! You can get a sandwich, side and dessert for 2 for about $20.
Get a picnic from one of the casual spots across the street, sit with your sweetie & read a book. Great people watching, too.
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s home is one of the most acoustically perfect venues in town and sounds pitch-perfect across a range of musical styles. Read more.
An ideal walk from the lake to the heart of the loop. Scenic and calming. Nice cafés and a beer garden.
Peanut Butter Blowout Concrete!!! YES! Chocolate & Vanilla always available. Third (and sometimes fourth!) flavor rotates every few weeks. Love their custard! Candies and chocolates are good, too! 😁
