From taking an architecture cruise on the river to catching a show at The Second City or digging into a slice of deep dish, Chicago delivers a little bit of everything.

Absolutely so much to do in Chicago. A Cubs game was at the top of our list.
My family is from the Chicago area, yet I haven't done a ton of exploring!
I enjoyed this.
😁😁😁👍👍👍
So glad I found this video (which took some work because youtube's search capabilities are awful right now). The first few things you suggested is what I'd pretty much planned for my first day, so I guess I'm on the right track 🙂
3:28 the view looks amazing, but my legs shiver just thinking of standing on that glass lol
It sure was different there, nice to visit only for me
Chicago since 188 years is still exciting 🙂
Love Chicago!! The architecture is simply amazing!!!
So many fun things to do.
Thanks for this awesome video
The windy city!

It's been a few years, but I love staying in Chicago!
I love to go to Chicago and visit. Thanks for sharing these recommendations.
I always wanted to visit Chicago, what a great city!
