American Writers Museum - Chicago Maryam: I spent more than an hour here, and yet there are still things I didn’t get to explore. What a great museum for everyone to learn more about their favorite books and writers! Children can have a lot of fun in the children’s book room, but adults can also enjoy the interactive environment designed to engage with every writer’s life. You can learn about each American writers across all states. Fell free to study your state!
Finally, you’ll be able to create your own bookmark with your favorite books, and last but not least, you can become a writer and use an old typewriter to write like one! A must-visit when you’re in Chicago.
Pritzker Park - Chicago TennantsofMarqueeatBlock37: We have had 14 different reports from concerned tennants. Reports of: Robbery, threats, sex solicitation, drug solicitation, gang activity, drug dealing, intimidation, drug use, littering, loitering. And as others have mentioned there are Chicago Police parked right there doing absolutely nothing to enforce the law. This place is named after the governor, next to the library and university, with tourists and Chicagoans everywhere. What an utter embarrassment! This is what people see when they come to downtown Chicago! It just confirms everything that people here and see in the news about Chicago. How can the city and the police just let something so crazy go on and do nothing about it?
Chicago Magnifico - Chicago Eduardo Hernandez: Had a great time solving the murder mystery while walking around the city and learning things I didnt know (Im from Chicago). Andre was great and engaging throughout the tour, friendly and great personality. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Chicago Cultural Center - Chicago Natali Shkembi: This ex library - now cultural center is a magnificent place. Enormous spaces, high ceilings and this beautiful mosaic. There are many spaces though that are empty, and could be used for galleries, art showings etc. maybe even art classes.
Also, maybe more history about this building and its spaces should be written on the walls.
Nevertheless worth having a visit here (it takes maybe 20 min to visit)
Chicago Murder Mystery Tour - Chicago Sam: Absolutely Loved It!
This Murder Mystery Tour was such a fun and unique experience! The storytelling was engaging, the guide was full of energy, and the whole vibe was immersive and entertaining. I felt like I was part of a real-life detective movie set in the heart of Chicago. Great mix of mystery, humor, and local history. Perfect way to spend the afternoon—highly recommend it for anyone looking for something different and memorable!
WNDR Museum - Chicago Marissa Ciavone: Such a fun experience! I love the positive energy throughout the museum. I love visiting places like this & would love to go back next time I am in Chicago! My favorite part was the different areas that offered positive vibes - there was a mirror when you first come in that has a message pop up, a compliment machine, a wall of wisdom where you can write & add your own, & a cake wall with different motivational sayings. Each room was interesting & inspiring.
Millennium Monument - Chicago Eric L: A lovely neoclassical structure in Millennium Park. It’s a peaceful spot with a nice lawn and fountain, great for taking a break while exploring downtown. The colonnade adds a historic charm, and it’s a good photo stop if you’re nearby.
Chicago Sports Museum - Chicago Alex Garcia: The museum was pretty small, but engaging and entertainment at the same time. The host gave me the kid pricing due to two games not working. If I would’ve bought tickets in advance, I might’ve not gotten a discount. I went there on a Monday afternoon and it was empty.
