With a good balance of indoor and outdoor activities and sightseeing, you're sure to have a great trip. I've sorted this guide in the order we did things - day by day - for easy use! This is not just a list of ideas, but an actual itinerary. I did the planning and research, so you don't have to! This guide is geared toward adults.
In this guide, you'll find:
-Hotel recommendation
-Restaurants we went to (and notes on whether they take reservations or not)
-Outdoor sightseeing
-Guided tour recommendation

-And more!
Everything listed in this guide are things I personally did during a weekend trip to Chicago - so I am speaking from experience and honest reviews. We flew in on a Friday night so that we could kick our itinerary off first thing Saturday morning, and flew out on an early Monday morning flight. There was only a one-hour time difference from our home city, so we didn't really need to adjust to the time difference.
