What to do and see in Central, Illinois (IL): The Best Scenic Walking Areas

November 8, 2021 Milan Banda

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.

Polk Bros Park

Reviewed By O6378WFannag - Park Ridge, United States

I live in Chicago for more than 20 years but I don't visit Navy Pier too often. I was impressed on my recent visit to learn about new park with a lovely outdoor venue/amphitheater. Nicely kept. I like landscaping with prairie and native plants. Nice picnic area and some hidden picnic tables. Now I need to figure out if there are any concerts performed at that amphitheater with a gorgeous background: Lake Michigan.

Route 66

Reviewed By 490irinag - Illinois, United States

It's just a historic sign, but it means a lot in the greatest history of industrial development of this part of country and its important connection to the West. This sign marks the Beginning of Route 66, that starts at the corner of S Michigan Ave (opposite the Arts Institute), and goes on through Adams Street, and then further west and southwest, and all the way to California. ... History is on every street , at every corner, in every building, park, monument or sign in this fascinating city! ...
