We are headed to Chicago the last week in July. We will definitely plan to go to the Navy Pier, Millenium Park, AG store, and Lego Store. If you had to pick just one of these, which would you do: Lincoln Park Zoo, Museum of Science & Industry, or Shedd Aquarium? We are staying at the Sutton Place Hotel, and will not have a car. I'm fine with taking public transportation or a cab. Thanks!
Which Chicago attraction with kids age 6 and 9?

The Shedd definately. It's most accessible, the kids will love it and it's managable size wise. I love LPZ but if you are coming from an area with a zoo, it's pretty small, but the setting is perfect and the price is right (free!). For the Shedd, go in the south side entrance-you can avoid that huge line up the stairs. Definately do the Oceanarium and go downstairs where the kids can touch star fish and watch the whales underwater.
