Frommers review

Excellent book. Before any trip, I purchase a book from Frommers if that area has one. I have always been given great advice and pass it along to friends and family. The best travel guides anywhere. The book came quickly and in excellent shape.

excellent family guide to Chicago

During a recent trip to Chicago, I used several guide books to plan our trip and to use during the visit; I found this particular reference was the one I used most frequently and the one I threw in the backpack as we headed out the door each day. This guide was indispensable, containing suggested itineraries, an overview of the city, great ideas for excursions -- tours, strolls, attractions, shopping and entertainment -- as well as a history of the city and superb chapters on hotels and restaurants. We even stayed at a hotel that was surprisingly inexpensive and in a great location, and one that our native Chicago friends didn't know about! The guide is written in a friendly style, is well-organized, has lots of maps, and is jam-packed with useful information. A superb guide to Chicago for families. Highy recommended.

A Chicago "Must Have"

Even if you've resided in or visited Chicago frequently, this guide includes activities and insight which are invaluable when traveling with children. From the best places to eat and stay to the most "kid friendly" museums and gallaries, this book has it all. A definite good buy if you want to plan the most cost effective and enjoyable family trip to Chicago.

This book pointed me in the right direction

With colorful maps and reviews of the best hotels, restaurants, and activities for the family, this guide was the only book I needed to plan the perfect trip.

Don't Leave Home for Chicago Without It!

What fabulous information for grandparents to have: sharing tator tots with the grandkids at the Silver Cloud Bar & Grill to digging in the dirt with them at Garfield Park Conservatory. Chicago can be "kid friendly"! Thanks for all the groundwork which made this Chicago travel book invaluable for parents AND grandparents.
