Family vacations in Chicago have all the energy and excitement of this great American city. Fun family activities include catching a baseball game at Wrigley Field, visiting Navy Pier and its famous 150-foot Ferris wheel, the Chicago Children's Museum, and watching fireworks over Lake Michigan. Family-friendly Grant Park is where President Obama spoke to crowds the night he was elected, and your kids will love The Bean, the astonishing reflective sculpture in Millennium Park. At night, settle in for kid-friendly Chicago deep-dish pizza. Chicago has two major airports, O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW).

Chicago family hotels are stylish and kid-friendly, like the Trump International Hotel with its Trump Kids program featuring a welcome gift, mini-robes, video games, and personalized kid 'business cards.' Many Chicago hotels have views of the city or Lake Michigan. There's something for everyone when you vacation in Chicago with children.
