There are plenty of places to visit! Many of these places are free and walking distance of many hotels downtown. My favorite are Navy Pier, Lake Michigan, Willis Tower (Sears Tower) Sky Deck, Grant Park, John Hancock observatory 360, Millennium Park, Chicago Riverwalk and North Avenue beach.

Parking is expensive but there are many parking garages available for a lot less than $60 a day! Where is your hotel located? It might be easier for you to take public transportation and park your car on the street (depending on the location that you are staying at)

If you like museums then you have many options like:

- The Science and Industry museum
-Field Museum
-Art Institute of Chicago
-Chicago Cultural Center
-Shedd Aquarium
-Adler Planetarium
-Lincoln Zoo (free admission)
