Baha'i Temple
Things To Do

It's the only Baha'i Temple in North America. It also looks more like something you'd find in Istanbul. If you're a fan of cultural juxtaposition, it doesn't get much better than this. Making a trip up to the much more tranquil nearby Evanston will also be a fantastic break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

You should go for the great view of the river and great wine. The Riverwalk has been newly renovated so it still has the "new and shinny" feel. You can come here for a meal or just for drinks. I would recommend going early-ish to be the crowd since the place has become very popular

For groceries you can find fresh produce, meats, fish, bread, and cheese. There is a nice selection for breakfast with a couple cafes as well as a good crepe restaurant with sweet and savory crepes. The savory crepes kind of look like a burrito. And sushi, soups, grilled food, and many more!

There is no fee to enter The Signature Lounge and the price of a drink is cheaper than a ticket to see the view at Willis Tower (no bar at the top of the Willis Skydeck). If you want to get the most of the Chicago skyline come to this lounge for sure.

It's a cheap way to see the gorgeous architectural canyons of Chicago's downtown. The 'L' is elevated above the street and wraps in a loop around the commercial core of Chicago, going between the historical skyscrapers of its skyline. Take The Loop all the way through and enjoy the views as you zip between buildings and over rivers.

While the Chicago winters can be bitter, it's a great way to get outside and make the best of all the holiday festivities. There are plenty of great treats and foods to try, lots of quaint shops for cute trinkets, and of course the giant Christmas tree. Duck inside the hut for cover from the weather and enjoy some hot wine or a warm meal.

It's the best brewery tour you can find. Once a week: 11am every Saturday, they give a full showing. It's limited so plan to be in line. 2hr tour that goes into everything: brewing, ingredients, buying, building, and the business itself. Other tours may show you what they do. Half Acre will tell you how to do it yourself. 3-4 full pint samples too.

You won't need to pay a cent. As an architectural mecca for American architects, Chicago's skyline is one of the greatest this side of the world. From this angle, you really see the widest angle of the skyline. On a calm evening, the skyline reflects magnificently off Lake Michigan. You'll see a handful of tourists, but it's pretty sparse.

Anyone into landscape architecture or the Prairie school of architecture will appreciate Caldwell's design, and flower and plant lovers will enjoy the flora. It has a long history too - built in 1889, renovated in 1938, and restored in 2002. Visit the pond to escape the heat and crowds of people on a summer day!
