I spent some of my childhood living in Chicago but I was so young I hardly remember anything besides going to a museum. These days there is so much to do in Chicago you could literally spend weeks there and never be bored. This book highlights the best attractions. The book starts off with interesting facts like how the name "Chicago" comes from a Native American word meaning "wild onion." Who would have thought that? While you are in Chicago you may want to go to an IMAX theater, watch dancing fountains, play on the ice rink, observe dinosaur fossils, watch piranhas from a safe distance, go to a planetarium, observe polar bears at play or go on a roller coaster ride. There is even a gallery that has art you can touch. I was amazed by all the unique restaurants listed in this guide. Did you also know the Twinkie was invented in Chicago? Well this guide is loads of fun and made me really excited about visiting Chicago again one day. I will also recommend this to friends who are interested in visiting. This guide is for kids but it will become a favorite for adults too. After all we adults want to know where all the fun places are too so we can let our inner child out to play. And if you don't see a verified purchase tag it is because someone lent me this book. Isn't that fun! Only now I think I want my own copy.~The Rebecca Review
