Hotel Allegro — Hotels in Downtown Chicago, Il - a Kimpton Boutique Hotel

Hotel Allegro is elegant, yet fun. It is tucked away from the bustle of the city, yet a short walk to Millennium Park. The Allegro Kids Rule summer program includes a Kids Hour with lemonade, popcorn, Wii, and board games. The scavenger hunt with kid-friendly stops is a great way to see the city.

Krista: My parents just stayed in a Kimpton hotel in San Francisco and really enjoyed it. It was also elegant but fun - good stuff!

Erin-MommyontheSpot: Kimpton's locations in San Francisco look amazing!

A fun way to cool off in the summer! The best part is when the face puckers up and "spits" water!

My daughter *LOVES* this museum! The Field Museum is home to Sue, the largest and most complete T-Rex,and it is incredible! The Egyptian display is awesome, too. You could spend all day here.

Vienna Beef - Building a Chicago Style Hot Dog

I will always love ketchup on a hot dog, but this jazzed up version which includes pickles, tomatoes, and sport peppers with a dash of celery salt is deliciously spicy!

Ghiradelli Magnificent Mile

This store always gives away free samples of chocolate! Yea! And you must try the hot fudge sundae. It's served in a huge, old-fashioned glass sundae dish and overflowing with creamy vanilla ice cream, fluffy whipped cream, and gooey hot fudge.

Big Bowl Fresh Chinese and Thai Restaurants | bigbowl.com

One may not think of an Asian restaurant as being kid-friendly, but this place had a fantastic (and healthy) kids menu. The adult menu is delicious, too! And I absolutely love that the use fresh and local produce.

This popcorn is AMAZING! I highly recommend the Chicago blend that mixes both cheese and caramel corn together. Sweet and salty deliciousness!!
