You can have fun for free or little money, many of us didnt grow up with much, but our parents made our childhood wonderful. You can have picnics in the chicago parks, visit the museums and zoo, ride bicycles too. But a little money helps. Shame there are no outdoor theaters anymore . 6:12 + play sports in the parks , fly a kite , a drone , badminton etc. Take your dog. Go fishing , oh the Art Institute is for free , admission is advisable , suggested
Oh wow thank you so muchhh for the absolutely sweet compliments. 🥰. Thank you for watching our video as well. We appreciate you taking the time to view little ol’ us. 🥰
🥹 Aww thank YOU so muchhh! We are so happy you enjoyed the video and found some value in it. We hope you have a wonderful trip. Safe travels and let us know where you ended up going.☺️
Considering visiting Chicago from Scotland as direct flights avail… love you free guide as you can include it amongst some picked out paid ones.good work
Oh Wow, all the way from Scotland that’s amazing. We hope you have safe and wonderful travels and thank you so much for watching our video. So happy you were able to find some helpful tips from us to use for your upcoming trip 🤗
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.
Ohhh 😀 we are writing those additional spots down now ✍️!!! So happy we could keep you entertained and that you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching lil ol’ us. Have a great weekend 🤗.
@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?
I enjoyed you both showing off things to do in CHI town. I know this is saying a lot but I love this place second to New York! Maybe ai should travel more and I plan to.
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.
I grew up a few blocks from the Conservatory. I would like to visit the Lincoln Park one, since I live in Uptown now. I think both are cool. but the Garfield one will always have a place in my heart.
I just subscribed. Greetings from Southern Indiana Evansville, In. How adorable and entertaining the two of you are! You make it feel as if I'm actually there. My husband and I hope to go to Chicago soon. Thank you for showing places that look safe. And are affordable. I'm going to be binge watching this Labor Day weekend!
Love you guys! You make traveling fun! Thanks for the tips, I’ll be in Chicago in two weeks and will be eating affordable foods you suggested on your Chicago foods video! ❤❤ PS new subscriber now!! 🎉
Aww Yay 😃! We are so happy we could help and that you enjoyed the video. Welcome to the family 🏡💕 thank you so much for watching and joining the fam. We hope you have happy and safe travels and enjoy all of the food you eat on your trip 🤗.
Hello from Chicago so glad you guys enjoyed yourself here you did a wonderful job showcasing our downtown area. There is so much more for you guys to see and do all over the city! Please let us know if you ever come back 😘🙏🏽
Ohhh happy travels to the Windy City 🌃! We are glad we were able to help. Thanks for watching and let us know what free thing was your favorite when you go. 🤗
Oh wow! Heeeey 👋🏾, thank you so much for watching lil ol us. It is always great to hear from a local. Thank you for letting us know the zoo has changed overtime. Do you mind sharing any other places we should check out next time we are in the city?
I realize this is a video about free activities to do in Chicago. I am curious about the food. Chicago is known for its pizza and hot dog. Did you have time to indulge? Or are you planning to explore Chicago cuisine on your next visit? If you already have a video about the food scene, please tell me and I will look for that video. Thank you.
The food in Chicago was delicious. I, personally, didn't really like the deep dish pizza & didn't have the Chicago style hotdogs, but I enjoyed everything else we ate.
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.
@@InspiredbyRR thanks for the response.. i just finished watvhing your vlog so thats why i have asked since im visiting chicago soon and will be staying for 2 days
You are so very welcome! You will be able to accomplish a lot in 2 days in you plan it out. Most of the stuff we did was downtown and walking distance from our hotel. Happy travels and enjoy your trip.🤗
J etais à Chicago pour 3 semaines mais je n ai pas pu voir tout ça malheureusement 😔 please quel moyen de transport vous avez utilisé entre ces lieux? Merci beacoup pour ce beau partage👍🎩
@@peterduerr4154 Lots of opportunities out there brother. During Covid tons of people quit their jobs and moved to places they always wanted to live. Not sure what’s holding you back and keeping you somewhere you’ve announced you don’t want to be BUT stay positive. Remember, if you can see it in your mind, then you can hold it in your hand. 💯. Stay focused and set your priorities and you’ll be and do anything you want. Stay blessed and keep the faith. We have faith you can do it.🙂
We didn’t have any negative experiences during our stay. We know that one should always be aware of their surroundings everywhere even at home….buttttt let’s get back to focusing on how fun this video was and how positive the vibes are. Literally had a great time and ate some good food here. 🤌🏾✨😎
The city of Chicago should pay yall for this. The best video of things to do in Chicago i have ever seen.
Oh wow thank you so much! Such a sweet compliment 🫶🏽🤗
I love seeing my city through the eyes of visitors. It gives me a greater appreciation for the place where I was born and raised

Happy travels and enjoy those performances 🥰🎶

Love the Garfield Park Conservatory.
Stay off the pink line after 7, everyone is getting out of county, and 2/3 of them will be on the pink line.
@johnaeryns5364 Thanks for the helpful tip😉
I grew up a few blocks from the Conservatory. I would like to visit the Lincoln Park one, since I live in Uptown now. I think both are cool. but the Garfield one will always have a place in my heart.
Thank you you two!! My husband and I are from Indianapolis and will definitely use this video when we visit this summer 🥰
