Are you staying an extra day? What wave are you?
 
I love Navy Pier and the Planetarium (you have to schedule the shows ahead, though). Millenium Park is fun and relaxing and there is always the opportunity to do the Chicago River Tour.

Oh, and I think "Wicked" is in it's last run this summer.
 
I second Millenium Park, and Lincoln Park Zoo is fantastic!
 
I hadn't thought of the second city comedy club. I'll have to look into that one for Saturday night.

My upline has organized the Chicago tour for Wednesday night. I love Navy Pier and of course the Mag Mile.

That's right, Janice...if I get in early enough on Sunday, I'm going to go to the theatre to see if I can win "cheap seats," which they give away 2 hours before curtain. My family and I saw Wicked last September and we have been "changed for good!!"

Here's a link to the info on how it works:

Mary, How are you getting to conference?
 
I'm flying...Delta out of LaGuardia!! I have to check my reservation, but I think I arrive around 10 am on Sunday.
 
Good for you, brave soul :)
I am actually driving and should be in Chicagoland about noon :)
I was going to offer you a seat if you wanted it :)
 
Mary -- Love the Yoda. That is actually my motto and has been for years! :D
