Chicago Trip

Rev_Al · May 25, 2011

Well, I've booked my first trip to Chicago to see Wrigley Field.

Any advice on what to experience?

The entire city. No better city in America from Memorial day to Labor Day.

Great people, great food. Weather hopefully cooperates.

Depends on your interest but the Chicago museum of Science and Industry is worth going to. Also the Art Institute.

The only existing U-boat is at the museum. It is really interesting. It is inside a specially built display building. You need to book ahead to get a tour through the sub. Navy Pier, Sear's Tower [or whatever it's called now]. Also the architecural boat tour on the Chicago River is great. Sounds boring - but it's not.

Parking around the stadium is bitch and very expensive if you use one of the lots. Get there early and give yourself plenty of time and you can find a spot on one of the sidestreets around the stadium.

One of the things I remember most about the day I spent there was trying to sit in just about every section to get a different view and feel of the game.

Use the L trains. Drops you off right across the street from Wrigley. No parking or drinking worries.
