The Museum of Contemporary Art is the largest museum of its kind and introduces visitors to a whole new realm of art where unusual is the norm.

The City Gallery, located inside of Chicago’s historic Water Tower, is definitely worth checking out if you’re shopping along Michigan Avenue. Especially, if you’re in need of a break from the hustle and bustle of the crowded Gold Coast streets.

If you you really want to let the little ones burn some energy for the day, take them to the Chicago Children’s Museum at Navy Pier — it’s full of tons of great exhibits that are both fun and educational.

Navy Pier is the ultimate tourist attraction and a great way to spend a day downtown.
