During your Chicago vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Museum of Contemporary Photography
Ensconced in a ground-floor space at Columbia College -- a progressive arts- and media-oriented institution that boasts the country's largest undergraduate film department and a highly respected photojournalism-slanted photography department -- the Museum of Contemporary Photography is the only museum in the Midwest of its ilk. As the name indicates, it exhibits, collects, and promotes modern photography, with a special focus on American works from 1959 to present. Rotating exhibitions showcase images by both nationally recognized and "undiscovered" regional artists. Related lectures and special programs are scheduled during the year. Allow 1 hour.

Brookfield Zoo
Brookfield is the Chicago area's largest zoo. In contrast to the rather efficient Lincoln Park Zoo, Brookfield is spacious, spreading out over 216 acres with thousands of animal residents -- camels, dolphins, giraffes, baboons, wolves, tigers, green sea turtles, Siberian tigers, snow leopards, and more -- living in naturalistic environments that put them side by side with other inhabitants of their regions. These creative indoor and outdoor settings -- filled with activities to keep kids interested -- are what set Brookfield apart. One of the newest exhibits, The Living Coast, explores the western coast of Chile and Peru and includes everything from a tank of plate-size moon jellies to a rocky shore where Humboldt penguins swim and nest as Inca terns and gray gulls fly freely overhead. Other impressive exhibits include The Swamp, which re-creates the bioregions of a southern cypress swamp and an Illinois river scene and discusses what people can do to protect wetlands, and Habitat Africa!, a multiple ecosystem exhibit that encompasses 30 acres -- about the size of the entire Lincoln Park Zoo. The thrills here aren't always high concept: Some of my favorite exhibits are the Australia House, where fruit bats flit around your head, and Tropic World, where you wander at tree-top level with monkeys. The dolphins at the Seven Seas Panorama put on an amazing show that has been a Brookfield Zoo fixture for years. If you go on a weekend, buy tickets to the dolphin show at least a couple of hours before the one you plan to attend because they tend to sell out quickly.The Hamill Family Play Zoo is a wonderful stop for kids, a place where they not only get to pet animals, but also can build habitats, learn how to plant a garden, and even play animal dress-up. The only catch: You will have to pay a separate admission fee ($3 adults, $2 children). Allow 3 hours.

Museum of Contemporary Art
The MCA claims to be the largest contemporary art museum in the country, emphasizing experimentation in a variety of media -- painting, sculpture, photography, video and film, dance, music, and performance. But much of the space seems to be taken up with theaters and hallways; seeing the actual art won't take you long. Sitting on a front-row piece of property between the lake and the historic Water Tower, the gloomy, imposing building (designed by Berlin's Josef Paul Kleihues) looks like something out of Communist Russia, but the interior spaces are more vibrant, with a sun-drenched two-story central corridor, elliptical staircases, and three floors of exhibition space. The MCA has tried to raise its national profile to the level of New York's Museum of Modern Art by hosting major touring retrospectives of working artists such as Cindy Sherman and Chuck Close.You can see the MCA's highlights in about an hour, although art lovers will want more time to wander (especially if a high-profile exhibit is in town). Your first stop should be the handsome barrel-vaulted galleries on the top floor, dedicated to pieces from the permanent collection. For visitors who'd like a little guidance for making sense of the rather challenging works found here, there is an audio tour for rent as well as a free tour (1 and 6pm Tues; 1pm Wed-Fri; 11am, noon, 1, and 2pm Sat-Sun). In addition to a range of special activities and educational programming, including films, performances, and a lecture series in a 300-seat theater, the museum features Puck's at the MCA, a cafe operated by Wolfgang Puck of Spago restaurant fame, with seating that overlooks a 1-acre terraced sculpture garden. There's also a store, Culturecounter, with one-of-a-kind gift items, that's worth a stop even if you don't make it into the museum. The museum's First Fridays program, featuring after-hours performances, live music, and food and drink, takes place the first Friday of every month. Allow 1 to 2 hours.

Small rooms

Jim, Indianapolis, IN

Family bars are only 2 blocks away

The City Suites was close to all of the Family bars. This is the only reason why we picked this spot. The rooms were extremely small is size and way to close to the L as far as outside noises go. The hotel parking lot was 2 blocks away and then there were no spots open because it was also open to the public. The rooms were clean and the staff was really nice.

Try Leona's restaurant on Sheffield...it's great!

City Suites was conveniently located in a great area of Chicago. Plenty of shops, and clubs, and restaurants all around plus the L platform is just a few feet away from the front door. The staff was very friendly and gave great suggestions on sites to see in the neighborhood. What i was not expecting was the cold bathroom. I had to close the door to keep the sleeping area warm but it made for a very frigid morning surprise.

We chose the Chicago City Suites because of its proximity to the Theater Building Chicago/Chicago Sketchfest. The bathroon was recently upgraded, very nice. No dining within the hotel, but over a dozen restaurants are within a two block area. Offers a nice continential breakfast and all staff members were very friendly/helpful. Would definitely stay ther again on our next visit to Chicago

Lots of stores for shopping and restaurants for dining in the immediate area. Conveniently located next to the train station for easy access to public transportation.

Good to visit if you don't intend to spend a lot of time at the hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

The hotel room was small but very clean and the updated bathroom had a double shower had which was unique. The hotel was in a great location for dining and shopping, be sure to go next door to Ann Sather"s and have breakfast, they have hug "sticky buns".

The river is right across the street, with a beautiful walkway.

The first room we were given was too small for comfort. But at our request we were given a terrific room with a great view. It is a great stay for a business traveler. It is a great location within downtown.
