Looks like you have picked a bunch of nice thing to do while visiting our great City.

The Museum Complex; Field Museum, Shedd Oceanarium, and Alder Planetarium will require a full day to really enjoy it. If you try to do it in less time you will be running and your enjoyment level will suffer.

If you've never seen dolphins perform and want to book your tickets for the show in advance. Check out the Shedd website. If you've seen that before just walk the place at your leisure.

The Museum of Science & Industry is roughly another 40 city blocks South. Take the buss that run the route. While here make sure you see the OmniMax show at the Air & Space wing.

If you've not walked your feet off you can for sure get your fill of music. Lincoln park or in the Gold Coast/Rush street area.

The Art Institute on Michigan Ave. is a must if you're into art. Again, check the website to see if any special exhibit is taking place that you must see. Then walk over to Millennium/Grant park, less than 100 yards.

If you're in to opulent shopping it's another mile and a half walk North down the Magnificent mile district. Worth the window shopping too.

If no convention is taking place stay by the Airport at a hotel close to the 'L' (Train) Check with hotels on parking Truck & Trailer.

Enjoy your stay in the City that I have grown to love.
