Are you considering a family vacation to Chicago this summer? A few years ago my husband attended a conference in Chicago and my daughter and I met him in Chicago after the conference to vacation for a few days.Chicago is about 4 hours from our home and is also easily accessible via Amtrak. We took Amtrak to get there so we would not have to worry about parking our car in the city.
There are lots of fun activities in Chicago. We enjoyed visiting the museums, the LEGO Store, and the parks/lake shore.

If you are considering a trip to Chicago, I wanted to share a few Groupon deals that would be great for tourists:
- $9 for a 3 day CTA Pass ($20 value). We used the buses to travel around Chicago particularly to visit the Museum of Science and Industry.
- Amazing Chicago's Funhouse Maze at Navy Pier. I have not been to the maze, but it sounds like it might be fun. $11 admission for 2 ($23.98 value) or $19 admission for 4 (a $47.96 value). Children 4 & Under are free.
- Baseball Deals
- $79 or $99 for a Rooftop Chicago Cubs Game (all-you-can eat and drink)
- or $89 from LivingSocial
- $40, $42, or $50 Chicago White Sox Game & Pre-Party on Patio
- Stray Boots Interactive Walking Tours
There are frequently Groupon Getaways or LivingSocial Escape deals for Chicago, but there are currently none available. We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Chicago and overall would recommend the hotel.
