You might not know it by the temperatures, but the first day of Fall is nearly here. That means the turning of leaves, football season and our very own Chicago Cubs preparing for their playoff run!
One of my personal favorite Chicago activities is to close out the summer as a tourist. Now that the out-of-towner crowd has begun to diminish, it’s the perfect time to get out there and enjoy some of the wonders our city has to offer. To top it all off, this year marks the very first Chicago Museum week from October 13st – 23rd!
For the first time ever, Chicago museums will band together to offer discounts, special programming and more in a promotion they are calling Chicago Museum Week. The event will play out across a dozen city institutions uniting everything from animals to art and culture to cuisine.
Don’t let this amazing opportunity to explore Chicago pass you by… Grab your friends, pack up the stroller, leash up the pups and get out there!
