60 days in Chicago Itinerary

A huge and vibrant city, Chicago is home to top-notch theaters, shops, museums, galleries, and restaurants.

Change things up with these side-trips from Chicago: Baha'i House of Worship (in Wilmette), Evanston (Halim Time & Glass Museum, Merrick Rose Garden, &more) and Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center (in Skokie). There's lots more to do: explore the world behind art at The Art Institute of Chicago, take a stroll through The Magnificent Mile, try your luck at Horseshoe Hammond, and get curious at Museum of Science and Industry.
