Featured Attractions

Willis Tower - Skydeck Chicago

19.6 MILES AWAY
The 103rd floor observatory of the Willis Tower offers some of the most amazing views in the country. While you’re up there, visit the interactive exhibits that tell visitors about Chicago’s dreamers, schemers, architects, musicians, writers and sports greats.

Hollywood Casino Aurora

24.9 MILES AWAY
Try your luck at Hollywood Casino in Aurora when you visit Hyatt Lisle. It's 53,000 square feet of action, including 1,180 slot machines and 26 table games. The casino's pavilion boasts award-winning restaurants. Sample Epic Buffet, Fairbanks Steakhouse or Take Two, then check out the latest show or peruse the casino's impressive collection of movie memorabilia throughout the property.

Navy Pier

22.0 MILES AWAY
Built during World War I, this 3,000-foot-long pier was a Navy training center for pilots during World War II and has now been transformed into a bustling tourist mecca with a combination of carnival, food court and boat dock. In the summer months, water taxis speed between Navy Pier and other Chicago sights.

360 Chicago

21.7 MILES AWAY
When you want panoramic views of the lake and surrounding skyline – this is the place. At 1,127 feet high “Big John” is the third tallest building in Chicago. Visitors flock to the 94th floor observatory where – on a clear day – they can see four states. But, the observatory isn’t nearly as interesting as the bar that adjoins the Signature Room restaurant on the 95th floor. There’s a little more atmosphere to savor the view and you can purchase a cocktail instead of paying the observatory entry fee.
