visiting chicago
 

Our trip to Chicago has been delayed a couple of days. I decided to look for information on some more attractions. <BR>Has anyone been on the "Duck" cruise? And would you suggest the lunch or dinner cruise. How is the food? Our kids are in their teens. Would you suggest a different cruise? Thanks for your imput!

I haven't been on the duck cruise in Chicago, but my kids have enjoyed the one in Boston. <BR> <BR>Several years ago, my husband and I took an architectural cruise of Chicago--I'm not sure teens would enjoy it, but it certainly gave us a good look at the city. We loved it.

If you have teenagers I would not suggest a dinner or lunch cruise- esp if you are at all concerned about price$$$. THe price for any of the cruises with meals are expensive, starting at 50$ per person and the food isn't anything to brag about. <BR>The best boat ride for the money is the Sea Dog- which is a nice 1/2 hour ride for 16$, and goes very fast along the Lake front. Your teens will love it! And so you will you- esp if it is hot. If you really really want to indulge in a dinner cruise- the Duck (yellow & white boat) is the cheapest and has ok food, the Odessy is 85$ I believe and terrible food. Hope you ahve a great time!

ks, <BR>I really don't know anything about dinner cruises in Chicago but I highly suggest a game at Wrigley Field! Even if your not a big baseball fan, it is an authentic major league experience! <BR>

Better yet: Take in a game at Comiskey Park -- The Sox are actually winning...

OK Sabrina!- you have made an excellent point. Seeing the Cubs is truly an "authentic" baseball experience- especially in the bathrooms. Last time I was at Wrigley Field it took be 2 full innings to use the Women's facility and it took over 2 hours to leave the area and proceed home. As we were leaving after a Sox win, one Cub fan was heard asking another "What inning is it?" We then watched them trip/fall down the steps and join a group of semi-dressed girls who inquired if they could go to the bar now.
