Chicago is one of the largest cities in the US. It’s also one of the best places to visit during the holidays. The Windy City has its own traditions, and your holiday season can become a lot merrier if you join us and experience Christmas in Chicago.
Here are some of the best ways you can enjoy your holiday season here in our city. To fully enjoy the scenery while going from one attraction to another, hire a Universal Taxi.
Winter Wonderfest
If you want the ultimate winter wonderland shebang in Chicago, this is the place to be. The festival at Navy Pier starts in December and lasts just over a month. It’s the perfect blend of Christmas activities, games, rides, and ice skating. You also get access to rows after rows of food vendors selling the most scrumptious delicacies.
Ice Skating Extravaganza
If you want a unique Chicago experience with a stellar view, go visit Millennium Park. One of the fun things you can do alone or with your loved ones during the holidays is ice skating. Make memories at this beautiful park with a gorgeous backdrop. Located spectacularly right in front of the “Bean,” you can skate as long as you want. Rental fees for the skate gear are cheap too.
Lights Festival
If you would love to witness a spectacular light display, the Lincoln Park Zoo Lights Festival is right up your alley. It’s an exquisite, one-of-a-kind Christmas lights show that you won’t probably see anywhere else in the world. Another great thing about this festival is it’s for free. You can come alone or bring your friends and family with you, and feast your eyes on what the dazzling lights can do. While you’re at the park, you can also take part in various holiday activities like taking a picture with Santa, creating holiday crafts, and carving ice sculptures.
Museum Hopping
Chicago is almost synonymous to museums. Regardless of what mood you are in for the day, you can find a museum to match it. Educational facilities and museums in Chicago are a big deal. If you truly want an authentic Chicago experience while getting away, even temporarily, from the freezing temperature outside, you only have to visit our museums and galleries. If you’re lucky enough, you may even get a holiday entrance discount.
Holiday Shopping
Between Chicago and Chicagoland, you’ll find dozens of impressive shopping areas to help you complete your holiday shopping. Visit the famous Michigan Avenue, go to Roscoe Village, or look around at the Christkindlmarket at Daley Plaza. These are great places to start! And don’t forget the local stalls and markets all over the city.
And when all fails, think of Chicago Pizza
No doubt about it, Chicago is the home of the best pizza joints in the world. Chicago pizza doesn’t just fill you up in the most delicious way, it’s also the easiest way to enjoy an authentic experience in our city.
Chicago is a vibrant, urban place that celebrates the holiday spirit. Enjoy the season to the fullest and let Universal Taxi be your guide.
