Lakefront Trail Tours

Chicago city lights
Chicago on a clear winter day.
Want to get a great view of Chicago? Walk up the Adler Planetarium pier at sunset and enjoy the show. Don't leave straight after the sun sets, let the lights come out and take it all in!
If you want some of the best views of the city take a walk out to the planitarium. It is directly across the bay from sears tower and the hancock building. I ventured down onto the crumbling ice sheet that went out about 30 feet into the bay.
Best spot for Chicago's skyline.

8.2/10 Very Good! (2,582 reviews)
The hotel was nice , and clean. The guy at the front desk was super nice. However , the rooms are small, the shower water splashes over on to floor so extra towels are needed for the bathroom floor, and every vending machine was either jammed and or out of water.
