Chicago has the second largest business district in the country. This area includes the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. The city also hosts the headquarters of Boeing aerospace and Kraft Heinz. Other major employers include the healthcare industry, with offices of General Electric’s healthcare division, Abbott Laboratories, and Baxter International located in the city.
While Chicago has a very diverse collection of employers, its tourism industry is not to be overlooked. Because there are so many things to see and do in Chicago, this city earned the title of the second most visited city in the United States. Only New York City has more international and domestic visitors each year.
The area has a thriving arts scene that includes visual arts, theater, literature, and improvisational comedy. When you pair this with the city’s amazing food, top of the line local musicians, and easy to use public transportation, you can see why so many people choose to call Chicago home.
The Chicago Architecture Foundation offers informative 90-minute tours that explore some of the most iconic buildings in Chicago. The ship follows the river, allowing passengers to witness 50 or more distinct buildings, each of which has its own story and its own architectural style. Twilight cruises and photography cruises are also available for those hoping to capture the perfect shot of Chicago.
Millennium Park is best known for its Cloud Gate sculpture, commonly referred to as “The Bean.” This three-story-tall sculpture gets its nickname from its distinctive shape, with its reflective steel sides attracting tourists looking for an iconic Chicago photo op. The park also holds fountains, gardens, and sculptures that are open to the public year round.
The Chicago Skydeck is famous for its amazing views and observation deck. This observation deck is on the 103rd floor—1,353 feet above street level. The 99th floor of the building can be rented out for weddings, parties, and corporate events. On a clear day, this allows everyone to enjoy amazing views of Illinois and three neighboring states.
Chicago’s zoo is open 365 days a year and admission is free to the public. The zoo operates off of charitable donations and membership fees, allowing children of all ages to witness exotic animals and educational exhibits that they would not otherwise have the opportunity to see.
