Chicago is one of the largest cities in the United States, and it sits on the shore of Lake Michigan. Before the city, these lands belonged to the Potawatomi and other peoples of the Great Lakes. They lived off the river and traded along it, and their nations still exist today. The city's name comes from one of their words, shikaakwa: it meant a wild onion that grew along the banks.

The sights along the route
The route starts at a steel sculpture as shiny as a mirror, in the most famous park downtown. It passes a building full of colored glass and reaches a bridge that lifts. Then it heads back among the bright signs of the Loop, modern sculptures and museums. You'll discover the rest stop by stop.
There are seven stops and almost four kilometers on foot. It takes about three hours of play, plus your breaks. The route doesn't return to the starting point and ends in Grant Park, the big park by the lake.
History and culture, lived through play
After the great fire of 1871, Chicago was rebuilt quickly, and the first skyscrapers were born here. Every stop tells a piece of this story. You'll meet architects, sculptors, bridge engineers and families who donated works of art to the city.
There are questions about art and nature, riddles, anagrams and little logic puzzles. They are designed for children aged 9 and up and for their parents. Many answers come from looking carefully, others from reasoning together.
An adventure that continues
After the hunt, Chicago still has plenty to offer families. South of Grant Park, by the lake, there is a big natural history museum with a dinosaur skeleton. Next to it is a large aquarium.
Navy Pier is a long pier on the lake with a big Ferris wheel. The next hunt is waiting for you.
