What are the best family activities in Chicago?
My kids have been begging to go on a trip somewhere new, and Chicago is the closest big city within driving distance. Are there any family-oriented activities to do there?

From catching a Cubs game at Wrigley Field to visiting the famous “Bean,” Chicago has tons to do for any age! If you’re searching for more ideas, here are the best family activities in
Chicago
:- Lincoln Park Zoo: As one of the oldest zoos in America, kids will love the retro carousel, train rides, petting zoo, and of course all of the other animals.
- Navy Pier: The iconic Navy Pier is a must-see. Don’t miss the 1920s-style carousel, Ferris wheel, sightseeing cruises, and seasonal events throughout the year.
- Museum of Science & Industry: Not only is it the largest science museum in the Western Hemisphere, but you’ll have some of the most unique museum experiences to tell your friends about—like standing in front of a 40-foot tornado, climbing into a World War II submarine, running in a human-sized hamster wheel, and so much more.
You can definitely get around the city on public transportation alone, but it may be a bit of a challenge if you’re new to the system—especially with kids. In that case, it might be a good idea to rent or bring a car…but you’ll want to be sure and review your
car insurance
policy before you go. You never know what Chicago traffic could throw at you!View full answer
