I came to Field Museum in the year of 2021. At that time, COVID was still a big thing, however, I still want to visit. it was amazing to see such a beautiful museum.

The Art Institute of Chicago

燕子chris
It's great. There are many masterpieces by masters. It's worth visiting, especially Monet's works. It takes about 4 hours to visit. From ancient Greece, ancient Rome to the European period, there are many people. It is recommended to come early in the morning.

360 CHICAGO

Absolutely incredible experience!From the moment you enter, you're immersed in the history and interactive exhibits. The elevator ride adds to the anticipation. Once at the top, the panoramic views are breathtaking. We splurged on the drinks package, and they certainly didn't disappoint.

Willis Tower

Before riding the elevator to the top, there’s an exhibition introducing Chicago. It covers architecture, famous people from the city, food, and more. At the tower’s summit, you can take in a panoramic view of the entire city. It’s definitely a worthwhile experience.

Millennium Park

Millennium Park is located in the center of Chicago, USA, and is close to the beautiful Lake Michigan. It is one of the most popular attractions in Chicago. The "Cloud Gate" in the park is a unique landscape that captures the entire Chicago like a funhouse mirror, which is amazing.

Skydeck Chicago

Travel is good
Walking on the glass ledge induces an exhilarating mix of awe and excitement, making it a must-try for visitors seeking a unique perspective of Chicago's skyline. Whether you're a tourist or a local, the Skydeck's glass walk is sure to leave you with unforgettable memories and stunning photo opportunities. can see 360 degrees the city and beautiful Lake Michigan

My mom, her best friend from college (who used to work here), her mom, & I visited here for the 1st time when I was in Junior High & I loved it so much we came back a few years later with my best friend Anne & my youngest brother Luke! My favorite rides were X Flight, Superman: Ultimate Flight, Goliath, & American Eagle! We also took pictures in front of the park & a photo with Scooby & Scrappy Doo!

Navy Pier

TTXYTTAN
Chicago's staple of must visit place that is friendly for all ages from children's museums, seasonal events, ferris wheels to bars, dining cruises, and rooftop! Navy pier has it all. Highly recommend checking out one of the biggest roof top bars overseeing the lake and city and enjoying an architectural tour on the sea dog. you definitely cannot miss classic deep dish pizza they offer at the pier.

Museum Of Contemporary Art Chicago

In addition to the above exhibition, in another exhibition called "mymothersside", the artists try to make everyone feel the impact of Aboriginal culture in modern society.
