Trip Highlights
360 Chicago (Previously known as the John Hancock Observatory)
|
Conveniently located along Chicago’s famed Magnificent Mile, 360 CHICAGO soars 1,000 feet above Lake Michigan and the city’s majestic skyline to offer you the most breathtaking views of downtown Chicago, the lakefront and four neighboring states.
Your tour package includes admission and elevation to the observation deck. |
Chicago River Lunch Cruise
Our tour includes a 2-hour lunch cruise on the Chicago River aboard this European-inspired, glass-enclosed vessel. A lovely lunch, light narration and music included. Get stunning views of Chicago’s rich architectural heritage, with dramatic views of residential and office buildings along the river. During this cruise you will discover a wide range of architectural styles designed by notable architects Mies van der Rohe, Bertrand Goldberg, and Skidmore, Owings and Merrill.
Art Institute of Chicago
|
Founded in 1879, the Art Institute of Chicago is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the USA and hosts 1.5 million visitors annually. Its collection is encyclopedic, and includes iconic works such as Georges Seurat's "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte", Pablo Picasso's "The Old Guitarist" and Grant Wood's "American Gothic". Its permanent collection is nearly 300,000 works of art.
One could spend a whole week inside the walls of this establishment. Alas, we will only have 3 hours here but it should be enough to give you a solid introduction to this iconic Chicago venue. |
Navy Pier
|
You can easily spend a week at Navy Pier. Take a ride on the 15-story tall Ferris wheel or delight in the computerized fountain found in Gateway Park.
Wander the promenades, marvel in parks, gardens and structures, or explore the many shops and eateries. Navy Pier’s 50 acres of entertainment offer an unparalleled experience. |
Tommy Gun's Garage Dinner Theatre
Not long after the turn of the century, in a decade known as the Roaring Twenties, the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages was outlawed and strictly prohibited. Nevertheless, men like Al Capone and his mafia family refused to adhere to the law, opening illegal speakeasies across the city of Chicago, offering alcohol, gambling and hotbox entertainment.
Tommy Gun's Garage is an Audience Interactive Speakeasy that offers a musical comedy review wit da gangsters, da flappers and YOU!!!!! (uh, audience participation). After a delicious sit-down dinner, join Vito, Gloves, and da gangsters and da flappers for non-stop comedy and dangerous fun.
