ARE you going with a family? If so they have a thing called the CITY 
PASS I think yo can even buy it online, but it gets you discounted 
admission to six touristy attractions at a great discount!!
I really enjoyed the view from the HANCOCK tower!  If you get a chance 
to grab a game at WRIGLEY FIELD that is another GREAT historical thing .
If you ever saw the movie The Ghost and The Darkness about the lions of 
SAVO? with Val Kilmer, They have those lions on display at a great 
museum  at the south end of Michigan Ave  - The FIELD MUSEUM which is 
walking distance from the aquarium and the observatory/planetarium.  
they were all part of the CITY PASS when I went last spring!

Have FUN! Chicago is a GREAT town to visit! Best PLAN on doing A LOT of 
walking it is NOT very car friendly parking is a nightmare and VERY 
EXPENSIVE!
