Chicago - Don't Miss

From the giant gargoyles towering over the Harold Washington Library to the undersea world, the concrete canyons harbour many creatures.

Smile at the baby-faced belugas at the John G Shedd Aquarium. Laugh at the non-stop bachelor party hosted by the male gorillas at Lincoln Park Zoo, and outstare the brown bears at Brookfield Zoo. Be astounded by the giant, 65-million-year-old ‘Sue', the nearly complete Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton at The Field Museum.

Strange but True

The Chicago Cubs have not won a World Series since 1908, yet their fans are ever hopeful. Their ground, Wrigley Field, is one of the oldest in the country. Games are always sold out so it takes big bucks to see what the fuss is about.
