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.

Ohio Street Beach

Reviewed By Adventure809910 - Tecumseh, Canada

This is a nice little beach located right downtown right beside the Navy Pier. It was quite busy when we were there. They had all 3 volleyball courts going ,there was a restaurant that serves alcohol as well. There are lounge chair with pad rentals and umbrella and tent with pad rentals as well. We rented 2 chairs at 10.00 each. The water is cold and the beach is sandy with no rocks or shells and it’s pretty shallow.
