Its public living room is the art-filled Millennium Park, and its playground is Navy Pier, jutting into the lake with carnival-like attractions as well as more high-minded distractions such as the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. The John G. Shedd Aquarium offer exposure to natural life beyond the region.

Culture abounds indoors and out. Birthplace of the skyscraper, Chicago has a range of architecture spanning the lofty Willis Tower and the earthy Prairie School homes of Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park. Museums are similarly diverse, from The Art Institute of Chicago, stocked with treasures bestowed by civic-minded 19th-century collectors, to the natural history curiosities of the Field Museum and the scientific wonders of the Museum of Science and Industry. The arts come alive nightly in more than 200 theaters and many jazz and blues clubs in town.

WILLIS TOWER AND ITS VIEWS

It might have lost the USs tallest building slot, but Willis Tower is still the second tallest in the country, at 1,450 ft (442 m), and home to the nations highest observation deck. The tower uses nine exterior frame tubes, avoiding the need for interior supports.
