Things to do in Chicago, Illinois (IL): The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

Had the pleasure of being escorted around the firehouse by firefighter Sanchez. Truly amazing to hear his stories of the filming of Chicago Fire, including him being an extra. We were just getting ready to pay for our souvenir T-shirt’s when the alarm bell went off and we escorted out, so be it after all it is a working firehouse.

The Grand Hall is lovely to sit in and people watch while you wait for your train. The soaring ceilings and architecture are stunning. Maneuvering around the station is very easy and employees are always helpful and friendly. There are a number of decent food stands and restaurants to also pass the time away at with a drink and some television. Very clean and safe station.
