Great advice above. Definitely stay in a hotel within close walking distance of Michigan Ave and the waterfront (pier). Gotta eat deep dish pizza while there-- look them up in advance.

Water taxi easier/cheaper and less touristy than Duck Boat tour.

Stay near Michigan Ave and walk around. There's a Hyatt, Sheraton, intercontinental, Fairmont.
Go to Navy Pier, ride the ginormous Ferris wheel.
There's a big aquarium and science center.
Take a selfie by the bean.
Sears Tower (it's called something else now).
Eat deep dish pizza.
Go to a baseball game.
That's pretty much it.
Museum of Science & Industry
Aquarium
Art Museum
Sears Tower/Hancock Building
Wendella Boat Tour
Duck Boat Tour on the Lake
Rent a bike and bike up the path along Michigan Ave
Lincoln Park Zoo is really fun
walk downtown and visit the shops / cross the bridges

A teen might like the improv/comedy stuff-- Second City, Improv Olympic. There's always lots of off-Broadway type shows as well. Maybe some kind of blues thing -- House of Blues, etc.

Things To Do: Art Institute, Millennium Park, Walking along Michigan Ave, Architectural Boat Tour, Wrigley Field, Skydeck, eat deep dish (Lou Malnatti's or Pequods)
To Stay: Palmer House is great, or AirBnB in Lincoln Park would be a good way to have a local experience.

Have never been and know nothing about the city. He just "wants to see it." We will be driving as part of a college trip but beyond that I have no plans, no ideas what we should do and no clue where to stay. Help!
