Shedd Aquarium is a great place to go with the kids, or on a date. The amazing colors of the tropical fish will leave you speechless around every turn. The giant sea turtle, in the circular aquarium, can only be topped by the beluga whale shows. A must see if you ever visit the Chicago area. more

Quiznos are the best. They have a variety of hot sandwiches, cookies, salads, et cetera. They even have smaller sandwiches for smaller budgets. They come out with excellent coupons, but their sandwiches are well worth the original price. more

Chicago is an amazing place to visit any time, but if you get to spend some time there during the spring to summer months, you're truly in for a treat. There are so many great things to do and more for free than a lot of other cities.
A taste of what's free. Many of this city's best attractions are free. This is just a sampling:
Tours.
Comedy.
More. Golf, baseball games, Steppenwolf Theatre Company, opera, architecture, art, music, food (don't forget the big pizza rivalry between Chicago and New York City-which one do you think is best?), chocolate (Chicago is the 'Candy Capital of America'), spas (you might need one).
Did you know? A recent travel survey named Chicago third of the top ten most popular destinations for travelers with disabilities, (behind only New York City and Washington, D.C.). Rentals of hand-cycles are available, and so is an 'Easy Access Chicago' guide with a list of over 100 attractions accessible to people with disabilities. Isn't that cool?
