Family vacations can easily become very expensive but a trip to the zoo is a great way of reigning in your budget while having great fun. Animals you will be able to see at the zoo include African lions, jaguars, meerkats, chimpanzees, pythons, crocodiles, as well as countless others.

In Chicago, you can reserve for one of the nightly dinner cruises, along the architectural district or just the city shoreline. If you’re a fan of nature and prefer a little quiet time, some sailing or even a little fishing, you can find both; at or near Navy Pier.
