I think the Shedd Aquarium is perhaps one of the best museums in Chicago. It is a great place for both adults and children. I go here every summer with my kids and they always enjoy seeing all the different water animals. I usually opt for a day when they are showing a live show as well; those are not only lots of fun, but they are very informative as well. It is a great place to spend an afternoon because it is fun and educational. It is also very inexpensive and a fun activity to do with the kids.

Krispy Kreme is the place for donuts. If you have not had their donuts, then you are really missing out. They are light and fluffy and so tasty. The neat thing here is that you can watch the donuts are they are made fresh in front of you. AND you get a free sample as you watch. It's not only a great place to enjoy a snack, but a fun place to be. Make sure to try all their differnet varities, you will be hooked in no time.

Rolf's Patisserie is a great new bakery in Lincolnwood. They have a huge assortment of breads, cakes, and pastries here and they are all baked fresh on a daily basis. I would recommend their mini pastries here. They come in an assortment of flavors and they are all amazing. Also, if you make any purchase here, you get a free cup of coffee, which is a real cool bargain because you can get something fresh to eat and a cup of coffee too! Don't miss out on this great, new bakery.

I'm a big fan of Caribou Coffee. It sure beats the overplayed Starbucks that you find on every street corner in Chicago. The coffee here seems to me to be a bit less strong and a lot better tasting. My favorite drink here is the turtle mocha; the combination of coffee, chocolate, and turtle candy is amazingly delicious. They also have a good assorment of snacks here. For a fresh change from Starbucks, I would really recommend this place. You will be sure to enjoy it.

This place is the absolute worst place to go for a meal in the city. It is so overpriced and for the money you pay, you get terrible food. It is bland and you can probably get something ten times better at a nearby restaurant for less than half the price. To top it off, the atmosphere is almost as bad. It is loud and they animal sounds and flying animals are very annoying, espcially as you are trying to enjoy a meal. I would really not recommend this place for any meal -- it is not worth it at all.

This is a really cute little place to take little girls too. They have a great selection of hip and trendy jewelery and accessories for young girls. The store is small, but it has a lot of variety and girls seem to love to browse around here. They also do ear piercing here. I like it especially because it is reasonably priced. Sometimes they have sales where you can really get some great deals on trendy accessories for girls. Keep on a look out for these sales because they are real money savers.

My kids love this shop. I take them here for any special occassion. It is lots of fun for kids. They thoroughly enjoy the workstations where they can pick out their bear, its clothing, and all the accessories. I think it is a bit expensive for a bear, but the experience for the kids is definitely worth it. It makes kids happy and it is very suitable for a special occassion. Try it out, you and your kids will be sure to love it.

This has been one of my favorite places to eat since I was young. It is a great local fast food type restaurant. Except that it doesn't have the impersonal "chain" feel. Here everything seems really familial and the food always seems home cooked and fresh. They have some of the best burgers and fries here. It is a great place to go enjoy a good meal. The kids always enjoy it too because the food is so kid friendly.

When my kids asked for pets, I took them to this shop. This shop was great and it had lots of cool pets for them to choose from. My kids really enjoyed browsing around and spending time with all the different pets. We ended up choosing the fish and I was really happy with the prices here. Everything was reasonable and I was able to get all the supplies from here too. The salesgirl was also really great at explaining to us how to care for the fish and other necessary information. This is a wonderful pet shop!

This dollar store is really great. With kids, I really get to utilize this store. Most of their products are of very low quality, but that is not a problem because they are very cheap. I like this dollar store especially because everything is so well organized and it is easy to get around and find things. The staff here is very helpful too and they will go out of their way to help you find things. Another cool thing is that they have weekly specials too, so sometimes you can make stretch your dollar even farther!
