Inroduction
By Judy Koutsky
Chicago is the pearl of the Midwest and boasts a number of amazing attractions for families. So grab the kids, jump in the car and take a road trip there this summer. Many of the city’s top attractions—the museums, aquariums, Navy Pier—are perfect in the warm weather where the lakefront breeze will give a cool relief from the heat. Also, don’t forget the world-famous Taste of Chicago the first week in July; the end of the festival is celebrated by a concert in Grant Park followed by a firework display like no other.
Visitors who want to discover Chicago's unique charm and many offerings while learning something new about the city, can take part in the Chicago Greeter service.
Catch the enthusiasm of city-wise locals who volunteer to share their knowledge and love of the city through visits on foot and public transportation. Enjoy the local points of interest on these two to four hour visits as well as some of the Greeters' favorite spots.
Navigate the City with your Greeter on complimentary public transportation for the ultimate Chicago experience. Chicago Greeter is a free service designed to help visitors become familiar with the city of Chicago and its many neighborhoods.
With a program like this, it’s no wonder Chicago has a reputation as one of the friendliest cities in the world. For more information on the greeter program, go to www.gochicago.com
