So who out there is familiar with the Chicago area? I have a little boy turning seven this summer and at some point we will be in Chicago and I want to take him out for a little treat. We are thinking cupcakes--where are your favorite bakeries? Are any of them more kid-friendly than others? Reasonably priced or expensive but worth it?
Any must-see things while we are there (if we have time)? So far, our must-do list includes Legoland, Science and Industry, and Navy Pier. Our would-like-to list also includes the Field Museum and finding a great park (our kids do not think a vacation is complete without visiting at least one new and awesome park). Any suggestions fit for a seven, three, and not-quite-one year old?
Hey we are in Indiana and our boys love the Shed Aquarium.They have dolphin shows and things like that too.
ReplyDeleteWe also like Lincoln Park Zoo as its free.
Not sure about bakeries or things like that.I bing a few things and see what I come up with.
Many people have recommended the zoo! My kids love the zoo so hopefully we have enough time to check it out :)
DeleteSweet Mandy B's has the best cupcakes! Definitely check out Lincoln Park Zoo, maybe a Cubs Game in Wrigley?, Shedd Aquarium, Double Decker bus tour, Boat tour takes you on the River and Lake Michigan, Adler Planetarium (awesome) and its right next to the Shedd, FAO Schwartz on Michigan Ave, North Avenue Beach has a bar on the beach (looks like a ship), hope this helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list! Aside from our must-do list, we are going to decide as we go depending on moods and energy levels so it's nice to have lots of recs to choose from :)
