Home to a food court, stained glass, and Chicago Shakes! Love the theater, avoid the gangs of roving toddlers. Awesome boat rides! Catch an architecture tour, not to miss!

If you are in Chicago, must is an evening walk to this magnificent pier. A very happening place has everything for everyone. Whether you love architecture, history,water, eating,art or shopping, you will find all at one place. It has one of the largest collection of glass wall paintings displayed publicly.

Riva restaurant is good, Shakespeare is great, but the rest is touristy and cheap.

Always a fun time here from rides to a concert to the great food, drinks, shopping, etc. A must see when in Chicago.

Great people watching! Plenty of food choices Nice shops. Great views of the lake
