Things to do in Chicago Illinois, Tourism At a GlanceBest Time to Visit Chicago Illinois
Chicago, much like New York City, is an active city year-round. If you're not afraid of the weather, winter is a beautiful time to visit as the city is decorated for Christmas. However, it can get downright cold during the winter so you may find yourself spending more time indoors. Summer, which is peak tourist season, is full of outdoor activities and festivals. There's at least one neighborhood celebration or city-wide music festival every weekend from May through September. It gets rather hot during the summer months, but there's plenty of opportunity for outdoor adventure. If you're planning a trip based on the weather, the best time to visit Chicago is during the spring or fall, when moderate temperatures make it a pleasant destination spot.

Chicago is known for its blustery winters. Occassionally, the city's blizzard-like conditions top news stories across the country. If you're visiting during the winter, expect temperatures to hover in the teens and fall well below zero with the wind chill. It's not always this cold in the winter. There have been a few mild winters when temperatures have clocked in at 30 degrees. Summers are muggy and hot. The humidity makes it rather uncomfortable during the summer months--when the temperature reaches a high of 90 almost daily. You'll find temperatures between 47-70 as spring gives way to summer. This is an ideal time to hit the Windy City. Transportation
Cars are convenient for travelers who plan to take in the Chicago suburbs or outlying city neighborhoods. Otherwise, it can become a nuisance. If you're planning to stay in the Loop, Lincoln Park or the Near North Side, don't bother with a car -- besides parking can get rather expensive at $7-$15 per day. So, you decided not to bring your car. Now what? You can catch a ride on the city's subway system or the EL, commuter trains, public buses and suburban bus lines. The fare for these is $1.50. If you opt for the subway or the El, you'll need a fare card, which can be purchased at any station. Taxis are also an option in Chicago. Fairly easy to hail, all taxis are metered and the base fare is $1.60, plus $1.40 for each additional mile. This can be rather pricey so if you can avoid taking a taxi, do it. In-Season Costs
Like most big cities, Chicago is expensive. Like most big cities, there are some bargains to be had -- if you're willing to look. Downtown, or Loop, hotels cater to the business crowd and are usually higher in price than most others. You can find some bargains around O'Hare International Airport, and with the vast transportation systems in place, it really makes no difference how close you stay to all the action. You're really only a short train ride away. Illinois Tourism - Things to do in Chicago, Attractions, Activities and Day Trips
Most visitors to Chicago will find so much to do within the city's limits that they will scarcely find time for day trips. However, if you're visiting for a decent amount of time, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the big city with a trip to Fox River Valley. Fox River Valley is home to a number of small, historic towns along the Fox River. These towns, filled with restaurants and quaint shops, are the perfect weekend escape.

Chicago Tours by Segway Experience
See Chicago on a Segway Personal Transporter!
Category: Chicago Aquarium in Illinois
User Rating: 
Description of this Chicago Attraction: Segway Tours are the hottest new trend in guided tours all over the world – and Segway Experience of Chicago has been offering these exciting guided Chicago tours for over two years!
Chicago is particularly accommodating to Segway Personal Transporters because the Mayor of Chicago is an enormous fan of them and has even purchased a large quantity for use in various City divisions, including the Police and Fire Departments.
As a result of the Mayor’s foresight, Segway Personal Transporters are allowed to travel anywhere a pedestrian can go, including sidewalks and bike paths. Segway Experience of Chicago – as the only authorized Segway Touring and Sales dealership for the City of Chicago – has become the largest Segway tour operator in the country, with over two dozen Segways available in our fleet.
Our certified Segway Tour Captains provide our patrons with thorough, professional training followed by an unforgettable guided tour of Chicago’s “front yard.” Our Chicago Tours with Segway Experience include several Chicago skyline photo stops as guests glide around Millennium Park, through Daley Bicentennial Plaza, and southbound along Chicago’s Lakefront Path, seeing Chicago in a whole new way. We glide all the way to Museum Campus – taking in the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium & Adler Planetarium – and visit Buckingham Fountain and the Rose Gardens of Grant Park, all the while hearing fascinating stories and historical information about our Windy City. Faster than walking and more intimate than a bus, Segway Tours are a unique and truly interesting way to see Chicago. And we do it all year long - we even provide snow suits for the colder months!
