Millennium Park is located at the heart of Chicago. There’s much to see and explore in this area, including an amazing view of the city and Lake Michigan. Millennium Park is also right near Grant Park, the Daley Bicentennial Plaza, and Cloud Gate (The Bean).
Visit the Museum of Science and Industry.

The Museum of Science and Industry is the largest science center in the Western Hemisphere. The Robot Revolution and Materials Science exhibits will definitely be of interest for anyone who attends FABTECH this year. After all the science discoveries you make, you’ll never look at the world the same way again!
Laugh it up at the Second City.

Attending a show at the Second City is a must while you’re in Chicago. This world premier comedy troupe introduced us to some of the biggest names in comedy, including Gilda Ratner, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Mike Meyers, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, and many more.
Enjoy a hearty slice of Chicago-style pizza!

You haven’t truly experienced Chicago until you’ve had the classic Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Pizza locations are all over the city, but we recommend finding a Pizano’s, Pizzeria, Uno, or Gino’s to experience the delicious blanket of melting cheese and sauce upon warm, flaky, buttery crust. Is your mouth watering yet?
Scotchman's favorite eats while in Chicago are Giordano's Pizza, Maggiano's Little Italy, and Miller's Pub.
