🇺🇸 Chicago 30,000 Steps a Day Guide 🚶♂️💨

The $139 CityPass is totally worth it! 🎟️ Avoid driving if possible – Chicago’s traffic is no joke 🚗💨 Use SpotHero to book parking in advance 🅿️ Downtown is clean and safe ✅ 🌇 Day 1: Millennium Park → Art Institute → Chicago Board of Trade → Rock Lee Building → Skydeck The museum is huge – even a quick visit takes 2+ hours 🖼️ Skydeck is packed at sunset – CityPass lets you skip the line (save 1+ hour!) 🌆 🐠 Day 2: Shedd Aquarium → Field Museum → Architecture Boat Tour → Chicago Theatre Shedd Aquarium is beautifully designed 🐋 – one of the best in the U.S.! You can feed stingrays, watch 4D shows, and see belugas & dolphins 🐬 Field Museum has the world’s largest T-Rex fossil 🦖 + tons of dinosaur skeletons – a STEM lover’s paradise! Crowded but worth it. Nearby Tom Park offers great skyline views 🌃 → hop on a water taxi to Michigan Ave → switch to your CityPass architecture cruise 🚢 End your day with a photo at the iconic Chicago Theatre! 🎭 🍔 Day 3: McDonald’s HQ → Riverwalk → Magnificent Mile → Starbucks Reserve → 360 Chicago McDonald’s HQ: Was hoping to try int’l burgers, but only had the UK burger that day – tasted like a Big Mac 😅 Riverwalk: Perfect for admiring architecture from ground level 🏙️ Magnificent Mile: Shop till you drop 🛍️ + visit the world’s largest Starbucks Reserve ☕ 360 Chicago: Better views + fewer crowds than Skydeck! Highly recommend 🌟 🍽️ Must-Try Chicago Eats: Giordano’s: Deep-dish pizza 🍕 – smallest size feeds 3! Volare: Italian网红 spot – fried calamari & lobster pasta are good 🦞, but avoid the salty squid ink pasta TE’AMO: Boba in a can – great for taking on the go 🧋 MingHin: Affordable + delicious dim sum 🥢 Matcha En: Matcha dessert heaven 🍵 Uni Uni: Bubble tea – too sweet for some 🧃 Strings Ramen: Spicy hell ramen is a must-try! 🍜🔥 Chef Xiong: The REAL deal for Szechuan food in Chicago – great service, fair prices, amazing flavors 🌶️ #Travel #Chicago #ChicagoTravel #GothamVibes #USA #Vacation #USTrip #TravelPhotos #ChicagoFood #CulturalSpots
