Plan a Chicago weekend this spring.

Now that warmer weather is just around the corner Chicago is a great destination for a long weekend. Just be sure to stay near the Lake and close to all the great downtown activities.

During the day there are dozens of attractions to choose from depending on your interests. If art and culture interest you, youll find great collections at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Chicago Art Museum, or the Art Institute of Chicago, and theres even a Childrens Museum. The Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium and the Field Museum are also worth exploring if youre looking for otherindoor activities.

Shop-aholic or not, be sure to take a walk down Michigan Avenues magnificent mile for great window-shopping and maybe some purchases in the upscale stores and boutiques that line this famous street. Just one block over is Rush Street, known for its nightlife and clubs.

If youre looking for some great entertainment, take in the show at Second City, the comedy club where many of Saturday Night Lives top stars got their start. Navy Pier is another great way to begin or end your day in Chicago, whether you ride the ferris wheel, or stick around for the weekend fireworks that are scheduled to debut the weekend of May 23. For a special view of the fireworks, book one of the many dinner cruises on Lake Michigan.

Chicagos less than 300 miles from St. Louis, so it is a great way to spend a weekend.
