Headed to Chicago for IVIG this week

[PANDASmcnuggetsw/fry/coke]

DD 12 is going for her first and hopefully last IVIG near Chicago this week. Any ideas on one or two fun things for me to take her to? I haven't been to Chicago in a looong time.

 

Thank you,

You have worked long and hard to get tot his point. I wish you all the best as you approach IVIG and hope things go very well for you and your daughter! I will be looking for your Post-IVIG-post!

The museum of science and industry is a really good bet.

I don't have any ideas for fun, but we'll be up there mid-Nov with ds(6) for what will be hopefully our 1st/last IVIG too. Will be thinking of y'all this week! Wishing your family all the BEST!

wishing you tons of luck. We loved Legoland a short drive from Oakbrook.

The Museum of Science and Industry is a great time; providing the weather's good, your DD may also like Navy Pier (IMax theatre, Children's Museum, shopping, food, boat rides/cruises, bike rentals, etc.) or the Lincoln Park Zoo (free admission and beautifully laid out). All of these venues are in Chicago proper, though, as opposed to being out in the suburbs where Dr. K. is.

 

I know someone else mentioned LegoLand, but I'm not familiar with that. There is also a DuPage County Children's Museum that is excellent and will be closer to where you'll be located, and the Morton Arboretum is nearby, as well, if you enjoy plant life and long walks. I don't know if you'll at all be in the mood for shopping, but the Oak Brook Mall is a massive regional mall with just about any shop anyone could ever think of!

Thanks so much everybody! We also have heard there is a large aquarium, which might be a soothing experience. I forgot to mention, that the night before last when we were coming home from a trip and getting out of the car, her 7 year old brother accidentally bonked her in the nose HARD with his noggin' and yes.....her nose is BROKEN!!!

As if she has not been through enough....:-(
