🇺🇸 Chicago 3-Day Step Crusher Guide (30,000 Steps/Day!) 🚶♂️💨

TL;DR: $139 CityPASS = STEAL 🎟️ DON’T DRIVE—traffic hell! Use SpotHero if you must park. 🚗💸 Downtown = clean & safe (for tourists). 🌇 Day 1: Iconic Landmarks 1️⃣ Millennium Park (Bean selfie!) → 2️⃣ Art Institute (2+ hrs minimum) → 3️⃣ CBOT/Willis Tower → 4️⃣ Skydeck at sunset (CityPASS = skip 1hr lines!) 🦖 Day 2: Museums & Chinatown 1️⃣ Shedd Aquarium 🐋 Best in the U.S.! Feed stingrays, 4D films, beluga shows. 2️⃣ Field Museum 🦕 Sue the T-Rex (real fossil!) + dino galore. 3️⃣ Chinatown 🥢 Cleaner than NYC/SF! Packed with non-Chinese visitors (rare!). 4️⃣ Architecture Boat Tour 🚢 Start at Ping Tom Park → Michigan Ave transfer. 5️⃣ Chicago Theatre (Night photo op!) 🎭 🍔 Day 3: Food & Skyline 1️⃣ McDonald’s HQ 🍟 Got scammed—only "British burger" (aka Big Mac 😭). 2️⃣ Riverwalk → Magnificent Mile (Shop + world’s biggest Starbucks!) → 3️⃣ 360 CHICAGO 🌆 Better than Skydeck! Views + fewer crowds. 🍽️ MUST-EATS: Giordano’s: Deep-dish pizza (small feeds 3!). Volare: Lobster pasta > squid ink (too salty!). Chef Xiong: Real Szechuan food 🔥 Strings Ramen: Hell Ramen = spicy bliss! 🌶️ Matcha En: Matcha desserts = heaven 🍵 #Chicago #TravelHacks #CityPASS #FoodieHeaven #SkylineViews 🇺🇸📸
