Activity Level
Keep the Pace
I like to spend much of the day exploring. Whether walking through historic neighborhoods at a moderate pace or out and about on a coach, I prefer to keep my days full. Stairs don’t bother me, and I love to keep up with the group.
Best of all, you’ll…
- Explore some of Chicago’s most iconic museums and learn about the animals at the Lincoln Park Zoo.
- Build your very own robot and see it in action at the end of the workshop.
- Explore Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry with fun and engaging activities included for all ages
