As soon as you land in Midway or O’Hare International airport, the first thing you should consider is taking the El train. While taxis are convenient and will definitely help in finding your hotel for you, a little bit of research on the Chicago Transit Authority website will save you some cash. It is also one of the best ways to see Chicago while avoiding the traffic. Try going to the Loop on the Brown line to see the best the city has to offer.
I also recommend taking the El because airport transportation in Chicago can be very busy especially during peak seasons and should you wish it, any airport limo service in Chicago may charge you more.
If you can afford it, limousine services in Chicago IL will definitely provide you with a more stylish way to get around the city, evident from many a wedding limo in Chicago. A typical limousine service in Chicago IL will charge you around $300 to $400 depending on how long you are going to rent it but is definitely not a realistic option for most tourists.
One of the main typical tourist traps to avoid is the Navy Pier. Parking rates are rarely below $20 and it will most definitely be crowded with families especially during school breaks and holidays. The best way to enjoy the pier would be to go early in the morning before the crowds start to accumulate in the day. Another popular attraction is the Lincoln Park Zoo. If you are bringing the kids with you, the Zoo would be an excellent place to spend the afternoon. There are other kid-friendly attractions like the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, Alder Planetarium and the Art Institute of Chicago that you could bring your child to and even enjoy yourself.
Another thing to take note of when you get to Chicago would be the weather. Pack the right clothes for the season. During the winter, you would be wise to remember to pack with your coats, a hat and a pair of boots. It can get very cold dropping down below 32°F during January to February. During the summer months, a typical Chicago day would be between moderate to high humidity and temperatures ranging from 78°F and 92°F so be prepared and bring a hat and maybe some sunblock as well.
Get lost in the city! Most Chicagoans are warm and friendly and will not hesitate to help you out if ever you are in a pinch. Chicago has thousands of communities each from a different corner of the world and you will probably find something you like in their neighborhoods and restaurants. Try going around the Internet for more tips on which restaurants and theaters to go to and for reservations. All things considered, Chicago is a great city to visit and for anyone to enjoy the cool breeze coming from Lake Michigan during the hot summer months.
