McCormick Tribune Ice Rink

Chicago's free downtown park anchored by the Cloud Gate sculpture -- "the Bean" -- with Crown Fountain's two towers spraying water over a shallow plaza for wading each summer.

A landmark 1893 athletic-club building across from Millennium Park, now a Hyatt hotel whose old lap pool is a tiled event space rather than a place to swim.

Home of Giordano's stuffed deep-dish pizza a block from Millennium Park, with a kids' menu of pizza, pasta, chicken bites and ice cream.

A major art museum on Michigan Avenue with a dedicated family learning center, free stroller loans, and free admission for children under 14.

A 191-room boutique hotel in the Loop, in a century-old former hat-factory building, previously Kimpton Hotel Monaco before a 2022 rebrand as L7 Chicago. Coordinates interpolated from nearby known addresses on the same street.

A three-acre play garden downtown with rope nets, a play ship and a seasonal splash pad, next to two rock-climbing walls and a looping ice-skating ribbon that turns into a scooter path in summer.
