Last week I was on a business trip in Chicago, Illinois and had the chance to stay an extra couple of days (with my wife) in order to explore the city. We crammed as many ‘toursity’ things as we could into those 2.5 days and had one hell of a time!
Here are some highlights from our trip:
- Adler Planetarium
- Shedd Aquarium Home
- Navy Pier – which included a 75 minute boat ride around downtown Chicago
- The United Center
- Michael Jordan’s House (well…his gate)
- Gino’s Deep Dish Pizza
- B’hai temple
- Road the Blue Line Train
Here are some pictures (see the rest on my Flickr Page):
I’m going to Chicago in a few weeks for SOBCon, a one day event for bloggers, and I am spending a few extra days to explore the city.
How did you like the B’hai Temple. I’m not B’hai though I have friends who are and they say it is wonderful. Is it worth the trip?
Any tips would be great.
Hi Ellen,
I really liked the B’hai Temple, it’s very beautiful and the entire area is quite peaceful.
If you don’t intend on renting a car I would recommend getting a CTA pass (which will work on trains and buses). Take the boat ride at Navy Pier, I’ve also heard the view from the Hancock observatory deck is amazing. Have fun!
