Chicago - A Model Modern City!
After the Great Fire of 1871, a new city rose from the ashes and is now recognized as a model modern city. Combining excellent public transit, a wealth of cultural assets, vibrant history, and a spectacular skyline, “The Windy City” has much to offer its visitors. Arts, history, and science students will be impressed by what can be seen and done in Chicago. Explore the origins of the early settlers’ westward journey in America’s mid-western hub of culture and technology. Watch dolphins, visit a coal mine, laugh at a comedy show, ride a ferris wheel overlooking Lake Michigan, cruise the river, or look down on the city from high atop the Sears Tower.
