It's a city OP that you'll love because it's so easy with kids. It's very lively there and easy to navigate. I will always consider Chicago one of the best cities in the world and I've been everywhere.


As long as you visit from May-Sept this is true. In the summer, it's the best. But the rest of the year, no. I grew up there and visit every few years now.

We took our kids to Chicago when they were 10 and 12 for 5 days and it was one of the best trips ever!!! There is so much to see, great shopping and food. We did a bike tour on the lake and it was very fun. Whitesox and Cubs games, Science and Industry Museum, boat tour. I would recommend Eataly with the kids- have not been to that one, but went in NYC with the kids and they loved it.

If the OP likes pizza, Chicago doesn't just have deep dish and all the Neapolitan-type spots, etc. Another home-grown pizza is "tavern style," which is a thin crust pizza -- it typically has a cornmeal dusting on the bottom and it cut in squares. So good and won't leave you feeling like you ate a brick for lunch. I haven't been in ages, but if you're near the Loop, Pizano's used to do a pretty good version.


I know Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder is popular. It's not my favorite pizza and it's not real Chicago style, but it's well known.

They had a lot of activities for kids including free batting cages.
