Millennium Park

One thing about Chicago, we have some pretty awesome parks, and Millennium Park is definitely one of them. In addition to the Bean and Crown Fountain (with the towering 50ft faces), take advantage of the nice weather to stroll through Lurie Garden, a fragant, floral treasure tucked into the center of Millennium Park. Then when summer rolls around, definitely head back for the weekly Free Concert series at Pritzker Pavilion!

Bike the Drive Sunday May 28th

That special time of the year when Lake Shore Drive closes down and we are free to bike the open road. A great outdoor event for newbies and veterans, Bike the Drive only happens once a year, so now is your chance to get out there and ride!

Beer Under Glass Garfield Park Conservatory

For all those craft beer lovers out there, thekick off to Chicago Craft Beer Week, Beer Under Glass, is happening at Garfield Park Conservatory May 18th! A lush and tropical conservatory oasis in Chicago, where better to step out of the hustle and get your beer sipping in shape for all the Chicago Street Fests this summer?

Divvy Bike Navy pier to Museum Campus

Start out strolling down the pier, maybe taking a whirl on the Ferris Wheel, then get a Divvy Bike day pass for less than $10 and leisurely make your way along the lake front bike path to Museum Campus. When you get to the Adler Planetarium, take a look back at the splendor of the Chicago Skyline. Plan your trip on a museum free day and spy some sea creatures or star patterns. Just don't forget your helmet.
