Great places to spend time in Chicago 2021

chicago

Many of us have canceled plans for the summer holidays due to the pandemic. Perhaps you wanted to visit relatives or go to the sea.

Studies show that vacations have a beneficial effect on employee productivity and on the economy as a whole — and there are problems with both now.

For millions of people, a vacation is a real trap. It is needed to relax, restore strength and forget about problems at work.

How to use even a short free time to the maximum?

The idea of a vacation often evokes thoughts of traveling to distant lands. Although big trips can really be interesting and even restore our strength, they can also require a lot of time, energy and money.

Therefore, we have found and made a selection of great places in Chicago, where you can go this weekend.

Let's get started!

Shedd Aquarium

About Shedd

Every year Shedd Aquarium welcomes 2 million guests for unforgettable encounters with belugas and bluegills, stingrays, and sturgeons. But Shedd is more than just a destination. With partners in Chicago and around the globe, we’re also protecting endangered species and their habitats and rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife in need.

Lincoln Park Zoo

Since 1868, Lincoln Park Zoo has grown side by side with the City of Chicago—from swans to science and from trading post to metropolis. Now, we touch so many lives in so many different ways: our visitors learn about diverse species from around the planet, our animals receive enrichment that inspires natural behaviors, and our scientists protect ecosystems from Chicago to the Republic of Congo. As the zoo evolved, we became one of the most popular cultural destinations in Illinois and the only privately managed, free zoo in the country. We’re proud of these accomplishments—and those yet to come—and we thank you for your support.

Lincoln Park Zoo is dedicated to connecting people with nature by providing a free, family-oriented wildlife experience in the heart of Chicago and by advancing the highest quality of animal care, education, science, and conservation.

360 Chicago

Do you want beautiful and breathtaking views from a height? Feel free to go to 360 Chicago. But go up to the 96th floor. Admission is free, and the views are simply amazing. There is also a bar and a restaurant if you decide to admire the beautiful views over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

London House Chicago

The London House was a jazz club and restaurant in Chicago located at the corner of Wacker Drive and Michigan Avenue. It was one of the foremost jazz clubs in the country, once home to successful jazz artists.

Stop by Land & Lake Kitchen for an upscale take on authentic midwestern comfort food. Crowned by an iconic cupola, LH is Chicago's only tri-level rooftop bar offering cuisine, cocktails, and city views.
