Top of the Sears Tower
Go for a ride on the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier
Drive up and down Lake Shore Drive
The Art Museum is phenomenal
The Field museum is currently hosting the largest collection of Cleopatra artifacts ever assembled and has Sue the TRex fossil
There's a dolphin show at the Shedd Aquarium and it's a pretty nice Aquarium.

That is more than enough for two days

If you get a chance ride the Elevated because it's fun although it can be smelly

It's Chicago: EAT, for God's sake!! If your family can't put on at least 10-lbs apiece before leaving then consider your trip a failure.

There are so many good restaurants, but if you only eat one thing the entire time make it Lou Malnotti's. Best....pizza....ever.

I love Chicago, well the north side, at least. There is plenty to do there. The John Hancock observatory is just as good as the Sears tower, and you're closer to the lake. It's location (right on Michigan Avenue) is better. And if that black guy that they showed on The Real World, Chicago is still working there, he can tell you how to possibly get last minute tickets to the taping of Oprah's show.

Well I will again suggest the Art Institute, its a wonderful site to see. The Field Museum is very good also, besides what was mentioned there is a special chocolate exhibt there right now. I would suggest going shopping on the Mag. Mile of Michigan Ave. Lots of neat stuff there. Go to Billy Goats Tavern between the Wrigley Building and the Tribune Tower. The Museum of Science and Industry is good also. Plus if your old enough there are some great blues clubs you could check out.
