White Sox Game- Help

[psycln11]

We try to book a hotel in the River North area of downtown. You can walk to a lot of things.

Activities:
Art Institute (It was cheaper for us to be annual members for $115, 2 adults and all children under 18 get in free than to buy the tickets at base price, $142)
Museum Campus (Field Museum & Shedd Aquarium)
Museum of Science & Industry (The U-Boat exhibit was extra but worth it. Wife's grandpa was on a sub in WWII)
Navy Pier
White Sox Cubs Game (The only reason to see the Sox is if your favorite team is in town to beat up on them)

If you have a Zoo or Science Center pass in your area, check for reciprocity or discount tickets. When the kids were growing up we had the DSM Science Center/Blank Park Zoo pass that saved us lots of money at the Chicago Museums.

It does work at the Shedd (50% off admission). We used it in Omaha last year it it damn near paid for itself with the added benefit of hitting Blank Park Zoo anytime we wanted.

Take an architecture river boat cruise, it’s worth the $$. (I lived in Chicago 15 years and still learned new and interesting facts on it).
If it’s a clear day, go up to the observation deck in the John Hancock (better views, imo) or Sears Tower (glass floor is cool).
Lincoln Park zoo is free.
Buy the cheapest White Sox tickets and just move seats.
Stroll along the river walk and grab a drink.

Get drunked up and have a late Maxwell St pork chop sandwich. Good eats.

The L stops surrounding the White Sox stadium are very safe, particularly during game days. I'd recommend the train.

Is this place still "special?" It has been 10+ years since I've been there.
