A Parent's Guide to Chicago

by Charles Shields, Guadalupe Shields

There’s more to Chicago than bootlegging gangsters and Michael Jordan. From dinosaur and train exhibits in museums to beautiful parks, world-class zoos, and great food, Chicago is a wonderful city for families to visit any time of the year. Beginning with visits to the downtown area and the city’s well-known attractions, this guide offers suggestions for the best places to shop with kids and instructions for using trains, buses, and the underground Pedway. In addition to covering the major tourist stops in the heart of the city, a number of less-publicized, off-the-beaten-path places to visit are featured.
