1. Romance On a Budget |
|
|
 |
|
|
| Fountain, Grant Park |
For those romantics who need to tighten their purse strings, Grant Park is an ideal dating spot. Called the "front yard" of Chicago, Grant Park is the venue for several sight seeing attractions. Take your date on one of Chicago's most romantic rendezvous and spend the morning notching up fishy ideas at Shedds Aquarium.
For lovers of history and the arts, there is the Arts Institute and the Field Museum of National History. After all this walking, you and your date can cool off by sitting near the Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain, letting its mist fall on you, and at night be enthralled by the light and music show. Take a stroll on the pebble covered walking tracks, with the trees forming a canopy overhead-indeed an exhilarating experience! Later, enjoy a music concert at the Park and sign off the day with a romantic dinner at the Hyatt Regency.

There are many bike trails, such as the Regional Trails, the Swallow Cliffs, and the Deer Grove, an hour’s drive from Chicago. Don’t be surprised to see deer grazing along the prairies. The most popular trail among bikers in Chicago, is Palos in Cook’s County. It is a maze of trails, so be sure to carry a map and compass on your trip.
