Don't let Chicago's chilly January temperatures stop you from having fun. The Windy City delivers magical ice skating at one of several parks, including an indoor rink at Navy Pier. Chicago also lights up the Morton Arboretum at night for dazzling walk-throughs. There are many unique indoor activities if the city gets too frosty; enjoy candlelight concerts, the Museum of Ice Cream, and explore the Art Institute of Chicago. And for an authentic winter experience, dine in one of Chicago's adorable outdoor igloos. New Windy City events are always added; check back soon.
Break up the grey monotony of January with a visit to the vibrant flowers in the Garfield Park Conservatory. The contained area is significantly warmer than outside, filled with beautiful flora from around the world in a garden of stunning statues. It's a soothing afternoon before venturing back into the wind.
