AAPC’s TOP SIX MUST SEE/MUST DO ATTRACTIONS IN CHICAGO

SKYDECK CHICAGO (Located in the iconic Willis Tower -formerly Sears Tower)

Test your love of heights and step out onto The Ledge:  a collection of glass boxes extending 4 feet out from the side of the building, and giving you the chance to peer 1,300 feet straight down, or out at the entire city. We double-dog dare you!! 

NAVY PIER

When’s the last time you experienced a 50-acre playground? Don’t miss the view of Lake Michigan and the city while riding the 150-foot high Ferris wheel. Museums, restaurants, shops, activities, remote control boats, a miniature golf course, and much more await you on your visit to the Pier!

CHICAGO RIVER

How many people can boast a trip on a river that flows backwards? Not many, because the only one in the world that exists is the Chicago River! Take a boat tour and explore Chicago’s amazing architectural wonders.  Bet your friends back home can’t top that! 

DEEP-DISH PIZZA

Make no mistake about it, Chicago is famous for its deep-dish pies, and Giordano’s is, well frankly, the best (at least we think so!) There are apparently 12 of them in Chicago alone, so find one – or find a different one, but the point is, don’t miss it!

GARRETT POPCORN

Calling all popcorn lovers….if you love popcorn, you’ll looooove Garrett’s! For more than 60 years, they've been serving up their famous bits of corny deliciousness. Choose from the Chicago mix, caramel crisp, cheese, buttery, plain, almond, pecan, cashew, or macadamia nut. We’ll be there waiting in line – be sure to say ‘hi’!

MAGNIFICENT MILE

Oprah may have coined the phrase, but it’s up to each of you to chart your way along the shops, restaurants, and entertainment treasures found along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. This shopping adventure will be like no other – but pace yourself, no need to set a Personal Record on this mile!
