I know the ideal places such as Navy Pier, Sears Tower ect. but i was wondering if you knew of a "hidden" treasure that you like to visit but it may not be super popular.
OH and it's my 22 birthday and our 5 year anniversary so its a mixture of party and some romantic time together.
Answer
i dont know of any hidden jems in chicago, but there are a few things off the beaten path you may want to try.
yes there are great beaches, but the best is ohio street beach. very secluded and navy pier is a scenic 10 min walk away.
you can take a stroll along the lake which will lead you to lincoln park zoo, navy pier, river north, buckingham fountain, grant park, and the museum campus - shed aquarium, planetarium, field museum (dinosaurs and the lions from the movie "the ghost and the darkness") - art museum (with the famous loins) etc. or rent a double bike and ride along it. there is also a trolley system that will take you to all of or most of these spots along the lake.
try taking a boat ride in lake michigan or buy tickets aboard one of the cruise ships and have diner and drinks (some are buffet style). they are located on navy pier.
there are many theaters in the theater district. these you can google to see whatâs playing during your visit.
have a nice romantic dinner at the Italian village (three restaurants) or in the signature room (95th floor of the john hancock bldg).
michigan ave is great place to stroll along but my favorite is along the river on wacker (better view of the city). they have a few bars and eateries down along he river, its a nice experience. signs are post on the walks to their locations.
state street is another nice stroll.
the best view of the city in my opinion is near the shed aquarium, great photo opportunities.
millennium park is very pretty and again some great sights and photo opportunities (becoming a hot spot for wedding pictures)
newberry library is nice to visit to do genealogy research on your family and the american historical society is close by (north ave and lasalle). the museum of science and industry is a bit father south, but also a great visit. while down there you can check out the university of chicago campus and the building architecture
catch a cubs game or walk around wrigleyville, near wrigley field has some good late night bars and so does division street by the gold coast (north ave and wells through lasalle)
you can head to the southside and catch a white sox game, again you can find some good irish pubs down that way.
tourist will enjoy the bus tours for chicago gangsters, building architecture and historical spots.
you can head down to 558 de koven street to see the location of the chicago fire, it is now the training facility for the chicago fire department, but a bronze flame now stands there (a must see since chicago is known for the great fire of 1871).
another thing most people donât do is look at the lobbies in some of the older buildings. the marquette building's is gorgeous and historic.
there's the picasso at daley plaza
some of the buildings court yards are not visited to often and are some what private there a few near the NBC towers off Michigan ave that me and the wife like to go to on the weekends. Chicago is not a crowded place on a average summer weekend.
There so much more that I can got on for hours, but I hope this helps.
Also when you visit go to the rear side civic opera house along the river, youâll notice how it built to resemble a chiar, with its backside facing east. This was done on purpose when Chicago and new york were in a architectural war and the architect of that building wanted to turn his back against new york.
