Welcome to Chicago

From towering skyscrapers overlooking tulips on the Magnificent Mile, to sun-filled baseball games at Wrigley Field and a stunning Millennium Park in full bloom: springtime in Chicago is buzzing with energy and excitement for warm weather.

Whether you're visiting Chicago for business or pleasure, you can expect to find world-class dining, attractions, entertainment, and hotels and accommodations here in the largest and most-visited city in the Midwest. If you’re looking for things to do in Chicago, look no further!

Enjoy the great outdoors with a sightseeing tour on the river boats, a play date with the animals at Lincoln Park Zoo or a relaxing alfresco lunch on an outdoor patio. Indoors, unwind at a leisurely pace at a luxurious spa, jet set through spectacular downtown shopping malls or lounge about with the stellar skyline in view and cocktails in hand.

The spring season is ripe for arts and culture as well. Immerse yourself in the vibrant theater scene at Steppenwolf, Goodman or Broadway in Chicago. Explore museums and galleries of every variety, like the beloved Shedd Aquarium and esteemed Art Institute of Chicago. And take in sensational performances — from live music, comedy, dance and opera.
