Explore Chicago's vibrant art and sophisticated cultural scene while visiting some of its signature landmarks, including the famed Art Institute of Chicago and Field Museum of Natural History. Study Chicago’s architecture up close by boat, then absorb the expansive skyline from atop the Hancock Building. Visit the Financial District and eat lunch in the historic Walnut Room. Enjoy the city's new waterfront parks that stretch for miles along the renewed lakefront. Learn about the city’s growth both before and after the “Great Fire” on a professor-led motorcoach field trip through the city's diverse neighborhoods. At the newly renovated Chicago History Museum, discover the Windy City’s legacy as a crossroads of America’s past and future.



Program in association with Jewish Community Center Chicago.



Participants are expected to walk up to one mile on most days, over mainly even terrain.



Chicago

From charming old neighborhoods to late-night music clubs and a bustling pier on Lake Michigan, Chicago has a tempo that lures visitors and permanent residents alike. Home to the northern blues and jazz scene, world-class art collections, a renowned symphony orchestra and fine cuisine, Chicago has a bit of everything for everyone.
