Wow, there is a ton of stuff to do there. I have always wanted to visit Chicago, so hopefully we will get there sometime in the near future.
Just think of it as a slightly bigger version of Boston, with lots of Irishmen as well.
i absolutly love these kinds f posts where i can note down many free stuff to do in diffrent places.thanx for sharing.
It’s great that there are so many things to do for families and for free in the Chicago area. I’ve always heard Barnes and Noble mentioned in films, I’d love to check it out for myself.
That is a great list! There are so many fun free things to do, but it is time consuming to find them! Thanks for sharing this list for Chicago!
I agree!
That’s a ton of fun things! Being free is a big bonus. I need to check them out!
It’s a whole lot more fun when it is free, isn’t it?
This is great list of places to go. We were hoping to make a trip to Chicago with our son soon so we’ll have to visit a lot of these places.
Some are nationwide things, too!
Lots to do in Chicago! I’ve never been but my sister has and loved it. She was lucky and went to a free taping of Oprah. I’ve been jealous since!
I love Chicago. It is a great city. And this many free things makes it an even more affordable option for a visit.

Looks like there are a lot of activities to do there. and for free too! Thanks for sharing!
I would love to take my kids there one day. Looks like so muchfun things to do for them too.
These look like so much fun! We are trying to do some more traveling and tying in homeschooling while we do. This sounds like something we would all love and the girls would get some lessons in at the same time.
This is a huge list of places to visit. It would make the trip worthwhile.
We would go to the zoo and the bookstore. Of course, the little guy would want to go to the aquarium and the Lego store, too.
So many choices, so little time… 🙂
Great list of fun things to do in Chicago! My family loves visiting Chicago and now we’ll have a few different things to do while we’re there.
Thank you for sharing your Chicagoland resources! I love Chicago and I have been there a few times. I remember the first visit, my BFF and I went to all the places that was featured in the movie ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’, except for the ballpark. It was an awesome trip!
Ha, that sounds like a fun way to approach Chicago. Another great movie to relive is “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”
