5 Nature & Parks in South Loop That You Shouldn't Miss

January 14, 2022 Flossie Demartino

The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

Shedd Aquarium

Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, Shedd Aquarium brings you eye-to-eye with unbelievable aquatic animals—from whales to snails, tarantulas to turtles, angelfish to zebra sharks!

We went to five museums in five days and everyone said Shedd aquarium was number one! Dolphin show was sea world worthy and how often can you see beluga whales up close? Very cool place!
