Holidaying without the children? The Second City and Dave & Buster's should be at the very top of your to-do list.

Some great cultural sites are waiting. Start the day at the Cloud Gate, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Crown Fountain and the Chicago Center for the Performing Arts.

While you're able to view a great variety of art on the internet these days, there's nothing like experiencing the real thing. Check out the region's creative side by visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art, the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum, the Fine Arts Building and the Loyola University Museum of Art.
