Cold Day Hot Spots in Chicago
December 30, 2013
Relocating to Chicago gives anyone a great chance to explore different cultures, and your potential to discover and learn is nearly endless. Your new home of Chicago has many indoor options for those days in the cold, windy winters. So beat the cold, bundle up, and check out some of these great indoor options as you explore your new city.
The iconic Shedd Aquarium is a must-see for anyone new to the Chicago area, especially when the cold leaves you heading indoors. The Shedd Aquarium is host to all the creatures of the sea, and is a great learning opportunity for your kiddos. They offer animal encounters where you can interact and feel what these underwater creatures feel like. The Shedd Aquarium might become one of your family’s favorite spots even when the temps warm up. (Plus, as a resident of Illinois you can redeem a discount on your admission price).
National Museum of Mexican Art
Located in the Pilsen neighborhood, the National Museum of Mexican Art can be a complete cultural experience. With over 7,500 permanent installations, there’s sure to be something that will leave you in awe. These pieces are such great works of art, and most have travelled around the globe to be a part of many other museum’s exhibits. The passion for arts and Mexican culture radiates from this building, leaving you warm and sparking your inner creativity. And as an added bonus, this museum offers free admission, leaving you with some extra cash to grab some Mexican cuisine after your experience!
