See (and taste) the best of Chicago in just half a day on this bicycle tour of the Windy City’s most iconic sights and neighborhoods. Follow your guide along the Lakefront Trail, admire views of Millennium Park, and discover the Chicago Riverwalk. As you go, stop to sample culinary classics of Chicago, like deep-dish pizza, a true Chicago hot dog, and a tasty dessert for good measure.

Get the most out of your trip to Chicago as you enjoy discount access to five of the city’s top attractions with the CityPASS®.

Bring the kids to  LEGOLAND® Discovery Center in Schaumburg for a day of brick-building adventure. With 30,000-square-feet of space this family-friendly attraction has activities for everyone: from an interactive pirate-themed playland to a factory tour where you can actually see how LEGO bricks are made. There's even a mini replica of famous Chi-town landmarks made from nearly 2-million LEGO pieces.

Wandering Chicago with time to fill can leave you missing half of what's there. Turn the city into a game instead, using an app to follow clues, take on challenges, and reach landmarks like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and The Loop. A remote host helps when you're stuck, and you set your own route and pace, starting whenever suits your group.
