Hi all!

Thanks so much to everyone who made recommendations for me -- it was very helpful and we had a great time!

I just spent half an hour writing in detail about our trip (potentially useful stuff for anyone who might be planning a visit) but MDC logged me off and my message was destroyed!!! Aarrgh!

So here's the short version:

Millennium Park: Great! Excellent for DD to run around and great cityscape for me to enjoy.

Shedd Aquarium: Great exhibits, kind of exhausting, but worth it. Buy tickets online in advance!!!! Most tanks not visible from stroller height. Outdoor North Terrace is enclosed & DD could run around, liked that as much as exhibits or more.

Lincoln Park Zoo: Way more toddler-friendly than aquarium. We loved animals, carousel, children's section. Not crowded the day we were there, but probably is on a nice day.

That's all for now. Ciao!

Thanks for sharing! We're in the Chicago 'burbs...so we're hoping to get into the city soon and do something fun. Nice to have some idea what a little one might like.
