    While it's less well known, the Garfield Park Conservatory is both much larger and quite a bit nicer than the one in Lincoln Park. As a bonus, it's just steps from the 'L'.
    Two other things I'd suggest are browsing through the old Marshall Field's store (the loop Macy's). You can spend an hour there admiring how beautiful the store is without spending a dime. Another fun thing is just riding around on the 'L' (technically not free, but just $5 for a day pass). Going around the loop and out on the elevated lines provide nice views of the city. I especially like the pink line on the near southwest side and the brown line going northwest.

    My guy & I have been to Chicago once before in October. We pretty much went everywhere you mentioned except for 2 places. I'm going back in a few weeks with my daughter for her birthday. The few things that were free that weren't mentioned that were a must-see for us were Oak Street Beach & Buckingham fountain. Both were free. The beach was amazing & I'm looking forward to seeing the fountain on as it wasn't on in October. We're excited to see the city in the summer. Loved your video. You two are great together & the video was informative & fun to watch.

      @alvaroquijano579 The weather was in the upper 50s the whole 5 days we were there. It rained the whole last full day, but there are plenty of indoor activities in Chicago. I was just in Chicago a few weeks ago. I couldn't get to Grant Park to see Buckingham Fountain because the park was closed for Lollapalooza. The Bean will also be closed for a while for reconstruction around that area of Millennium Park. How long are you staying?

      It's your lucky day. Peaquads sucks, it's for tourists. Same with Gino's east, and Giordano's is OK at best. Take the Metra electric down to a town called Homewood, and go to a place called aurelios. Get their thin crust pizza. Just get the biggest one you can, trust me on this. And load it up with whatever toppings you want. If you want the deep-dish just get a medium. A close second for best chicago pizza is beggars, beggars will also blow you away. Then there's the weiner circle, but that's kind of specific. Go there at midnight, slip them 20 bucks, age ask for a chocolate shake. Last but not least, in the south suburbs, there's a tiny, greasy spoon called perros bros. Which will have the best gyros, and ribs you've ever had in your life. If you scare easy go to the one in Matteson, if not go to the one in chicago heights. Lastly, just south of Lincoln hwy about 2 miles is a tiny shack next to eagle liquors in Chicago heights. Get a deep fried tamale from them. Don't be scared, you'll probably be fine.
