Explore Chicago (O'Hare)
The awe-inspiring Chicago skyline seems to rise straight up from Lake Michigan. Looming above all other skyscrapers is the Willis Tower, the Western hemisphere’s tallest building. There, you can visit the Chicago Skydeck Ledge. Gather your courage and look straight down through a plexiglass floor 1,353 feet above ground.
If you prefer keeping your feet on the ground, head over to Grant Park where The Art Institute of Chicago awaits you. Dating back to 1876, it’s one of the oldest and largest fine art museums in the U.S. It’s home to some of the world’s most recognized and famous works, including Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, Pablo Picasso's The Old Guitarist, Edward Hopper's Nighthawks, and Grant Wood's American Gothic.
