YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

When you see the price of admission to museums you'll be giad to know that most of our world-class museums offer free days - so check the web sites and plan your visit accordingly. Want to enjoy a scenic path for your morning run? Chicago’s Lakefront Trail can’t be beat. Ice skating is free during the winter at Millennium Park and the Riverwalk just keeps on getting better with art installations, live music and nooks to hang out and watch the world go by.

Book a Chicago Greeter and let them know what you’d like to see. They’re well-versed on Chicago’s history as well as its continuous progress and are happy to share their knowledge.

No visit to Chicago is complete without a photo at Cloud Gate, aka The Bean, an undulating, shiny lump of cheer. Located at Millennium Park, the park also features free live music just east of the park at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion during the summer months. Across the street, the Chicago Cultural Center always programs free cutting edge art exhibitions and concerts.
