What travellers are saying
- deperu4New York142 contributionsExcellent exhibitions, from Asia, Egypt, Europe, and of course and a vast collection of Cezanne and other great renowned artistsWritten August 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Linda SNorth Carolina8 contributionsWe enjoyed this on a couples trip. It is ideal for kids of all ages, but we still had a great day. Don't miss the submarine exhibit!Written August 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NatSteveCBirmingham, UK222 contributionsWe visited on a warm and sunny Monday morning. There were no queues and we were up the top in about 20 minutes, after the bag checks, ticket checks and waiting for the elevator.
The views were incredible from every side. We did not do the 'Tilt' although there was no wait for it and we could have got straight on.
The gift shop was fairly reasonably priced, about average for these types of places.Written August 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Busy spot but a quick and easy stop when wandering through Millennium Park.Written August 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We found a cute little shop nearby selling baby onesies. Great people watching too!
It can get a little crowded but fun to have people photo bomb in the back.Written August 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Beware on football game days the traffic is kind of crazy.Written August 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BecswaOmaha, NE164 contributionsThis was my second visit to Wrigley. My first visit was in 1986- and I fell in love with baseball at that visit. My return visit couldn't have been better- Cubs won, weather was perfect, seats were great, easy to get there via the L. It won't be 36 years before I return again!Written August 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- KCinAZMesa, AZ153 contributionsThe river walk was great. Lots of shopping and nice restaurants. Make sure to visit the marina park.Written August 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Caribbean TravelerLe Claire, IA67 contributionsWe had not been to Chicago for awhile and wow were we impressed by the difference in the Riverwalk. Vastly improved. Felt quite safe and walked it for over a mile. Many bars and restaurants. Really a fun time to watch the boats go by while enjoying music and family. Later at night, they project art onto the merchandise mart. That was fun to see as well.Written August 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cory LWorcester, MA60 contributionsWe found this little gem while searching trip advisor for attractions. Being a free zoo we didn't know what to expect. The exhibits were very elaborate and well kept. The park was extremely clean. They had/have an amazing array of different animals and mammals. Very glad we visited.Written August 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michele W14 contributionsThe architecture and content in this former library is worth the visit. Don't miss the restored glass domes, staircases, and interesting Civil War exhibitWritten August 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kellin3 contributionsThis was a wonderful surprise find! The house is painstakingly restored and full of Art Deco objects and Tiffany glass. Walking around in it feels like being in an episode of your favorite historical movie or tv show. Even the guest bathrooms have period accurate fixtures! This is an experience! Have already recommend it to everyone we’ve met since.Written August 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- snoozermooseBoston, MA89 contributionsI love conservatories and try to go whenever a city has one. This one was quite nice and a welcome reprieve from multiple days spent in the city. Not crowded at all. Parts of it could've used better signage as it was a little confusing to get around. Overall, if you have limited time this wouldn't be top of my list but we enjoyed it.Written July 29, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa WCardiff, UK131 contributionsSuperb exhibits and plenty to see and do on a rainy day in Chicago. The variety of animals and sea creatures is excellent and all the information is really educational. Only downside was the amount of people in at one time and that people were allowed to walk round eating and drinking.
Fantastic day overall.Written August 9, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The bike lanes definitely get crowded during rush hour but it was so cool to see locals actually getting to use bike lanes in a functional way (Boston, take note). The views were beautiful.Written July 28, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
