Lincoln Park A favorite Chicago pastime is just strolling through this 1,000-acre park, viewing the statues of Goethe, General Ulysses Grant and Hans Christian Anderson, and walking around the pond. There is also a free zoo, offering the standard array of giraffes, elephants, mountain lions and penguins, and a nature conservatory.

If the fresh air is getting to you, or if you are visiting when the city's weather is less-than-perfect, head to one of the area's indoor museums.

Chicago Historical Society Chicago boasts a lot of history. Even the Chicago Historical Society itself and the 240,000-square foot building in which it is housed are parts of the city's history. The CHS, founded in 1856, is the city's oldest cultural institution. Its current building dates back to 1932, and includes a 100-year-old Louis Sullivan-designed arch.

Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum This museum is very much a part of its urban surroundings. One permanent exhibit features a two-story house typical of most urban areas. Parts of the structure have been peeled away to give you a view of the organisms that live inside the house and quite possibly inside your own home. Another popular exhibit is the glass-enclosed Butterfly Haven.
