There are some attractions in Chicago that are simply "must see." The Adler Planetarium is the United States first planetarium. It is also the only planetarium anywhere in the world that has two full-sized theaters. Shedd Aquarium is the world's largest indoor aquarium. It houses over 20,000 aquatic animals, representing some 1,500 species.

When it comes to spectacular views of Chicago, two landmarks spring to mind: the Sears Tower Sky Deck and the John Hancock Observatory. The Sky Deck at Sears Tower is the highest at 1,353 feet, and now North America's tallest building. Six computer touch-screens can spit out the city's secrets to you in six different languages. For a panoramic view of Chicago, this one simply cannot be beat.

The John Hancock Observatory, while only a "mere" 1,000 feet high, still represents excellent views of the city. From here you can take in four states: Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. You can see for 80 miles from Skywalk, the Chicago open-air viewing gallery that is the highest in the city. It has a History Wall that stretches for 80 feet and relates a pictorial history of the area.

The only museum in the city that is specially designed for those of eight years old and younger is Kohl Children’s Museum of Greater Chicago. This is a strictly hands-on museum with not a single dusty, glass-cased exhibit in sight. The museum houses just 17 permanent exhibits, all of them interactive. It is a wonderful fun experience for the younger members of any family.

There is much, much more to see in Chicago with a Go Chicago card. These attractions can of course be seen and visited in isolation, but with the savings you will enjoy, it's certainly best to get a Go Chicago Card and do the whole thing. You'll be glad you did!
