Best things to do in Chicago in april.?

• I am taking my girlfriend to chicago april 10th through the 13th. I was wondering what some of the best things would be to do during that time period.

• Answer:

  We were just in Chicago for Valentine's Day.. and we bought the "City Pass". It lets you in 4 museums (Shedd Aquarium, the Planetarium, The Field Museum - which is a Natural History Museum and the Science Center Museum. The first three museums are right next to eachother, but the Science Museum is 5 miles South, and you can take the train there - red line, I think?) And also includes a ride up to the top of the Sears Tower Observation deck, or the Hancock Observatory. If you buy the tickets individually, it would be $111, but the City Pass was $59 and allowed us to bypass all the ticket lines at each place. (Which was VERY nice. At the Field Museum, there were probably 100+ people in line when we got there) We purchased the City Pass online with a credit card, and then printed out a voucher - which we turned in at the first place we went and they gave us a ticketbook with our passes in it) We absolutely loved the museums.. especially the Field Museum. They have a Pirate exhibit there right now.. All about pirates and stuff from shipwrecks, which might be very cool. Also, an Aztec exhibit was there... but I believe it was ending right around the 13th or 15th of April. If you're looking for a hotel. We did great! I went to priceline.com and said I wanted a 5 star hotel for $74 a night, which I thought was VERY cheap in a big city on Valentine's weekend.. and we got it! We had a great room at the Chicago Hilton, right near the Museum areas. Have a great time!
