Day 3
Chicago is famous for her museums. A morning visit to your choice of the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium or Art Institute is followed by a city tour led by a real gangster. You’ll never forget your time with “Porkchop” as he shares his stories of good guys and bad—those who got the money, the girl, the shaft.. . . and those who got away—during Chicago’s notorious Prohibition period. This evening, Lawry’s Prime Rib and live entertainment take center stage as you see the show of your choice in America’s second largest theatre district. The popular Tony Award-winner Jersey Boys will be among your choices. A list of choices will be sent out in the spring.
