    If you're not sick of beautiful green grass, you could go to Wrigley Field.

    The Cubs play at 1:20pm on Friday :)

    Shedd Aquarium is cool. The Zoo in the city is decent and Free. Or..... any Bar on Rush Street is an experience.

    I thought the view from Sears Tower was really cool also the Museum of Science & Industry had a full size submarine you can tour.

    Depends on what you like...

    As some have mentioned: Boat tour - either arch. or there is a combined river and Lake tour on Wendella tours that was a lot of fun.

    Shedd's - if you like aquariums, it is terrific.

    Museum of Science and Industry - if you like museums and not aquariums, hit this one.

    Beer - you like it or not? If so, hit some combo of Goose Island Clybourn, Local option, Half Acre, Revolution, Map Room, Piece Brewing (especially if you like pizza but not deep dish). Additionally, if you like beer and have a car, the 45 minute trip south to Munster, IN to Three Floyds is always worth it.
