When To Visit:
Chicago is one of the cities that truly experiences all 4 seasons, which means it has something different to offer year-round. Summers (late May to September) are the most popular time to visit due to warm temperatures and beautiful weather that makes waterfront activities, festivals, and exploring outdoor attractions super fun and comfy. Spring and fall are also great times to visit for pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds. Winter offers its own charm with festive holiday lights, ice skating at Millennium Park, and cozy cafes to relax and warm up in. Be sure to pack layers if you travel in the winter months, because The Windy City’s wind chill can be freezing, literally dropping below 0 during the coldest months!
