mgb, Just got back from Chicago. I take my two daughters there twice a year and we hit the shopping, restaurants, and museums. If you want to see overpriced shopping, Michigan Ave between the river and Hancock Tower would be a fun place to walk around. For a nice buffet lunch downtown go to Hancock Tower and head to the top for the greatest view of Chicago. Opens at 11AM weekdays and if you get there at 11 you get a window seat you won't forget. Get done with lunch and look at Watertower next door. It is basically a shopping mall only vertical. Walk down Michigan Avenue a few blocks to get the feel of the city and the crowds. Absolutely safe. As for museums?
Shedd Aquarium is great but pricey. Field Museum is an awesome place and fairly priced. Not a lot of Ag stuff but there is a section on the history of plants that hits it a little. For Ag, the Museum of Science and Industry has a big JD combine you can look at and climb on with cutaways to the interior works. A lot of other great stuff there too BUT it is a $20 cab ride from downtown. Still worth it if you get there early enough. The METRA trains stop at Lombard and will take you downtown safely and quickly. Anyone can tell you how to find the station. Catch a cab outside to anywhere. Buses can take you places also. If you go to the field museum the 127 bus will take you back to the trains. Cabs can be hard to catch these days at the museum campus. This is one of our favorite places. I hope you have a good time.
