Navy Pier is fun to visit. There is Shedd Aquarium, Museum of Science and Industry and the Field Museum. They often have passes for all three at discounts and things. Also fun is the Art Institute. China town is great to go to. You should be able to get to all these places fairly easily on the el. Buy yourself the 3 day pass or whatever it is. Worth it. Walking around downtown and just seeing what's there is fun. There's tons of shopping. No worries- you'll find plenty to do. I high recommend the Field Museum. They've always had really cool exhibits when I've gone.
