Three night Chicago Trip Students participating in our program have the opportunity to visit Chicago, IL. Three nights and two days provide an excellent opportunity to enjoy the historic and eventful downtown Chicago from the Freehand Hotel right on Ohio street.
This great hotel is within walking distance of the Magnificent Mile, the Ohio Street beach on Lake Michigan and Navy Pier. They will be able to experience the best of the city from an Architectural boat ride on the river and lake, going to the top of the tallest building (The Willis Tower) in Chicago at sunset, eating Giordano's famous Chicago Pizza to relaxing on the fresh water beach in a cabana and experiencing a little of the nightlife at one of Chicago's best music clubs - Kingston Mines. |
