Design-it-Yourself Trolley Tours of Chicago

On your next trip to Chicago, if having the freedom to hop on and off during a trolley tour is high on your list of priorities, the Chicago Hop On & Hop Off Trolley Tour is a great option.  Seeing the city in the open air while being able to create your own itinerary can be very useful, especially if you are traveling with children who may see things they want to explore further.  There are a number of popular locations to choose from over the span of 13 miles.  Of particular interest to many are the Sears Tower and the Art Institute Museum Campus.  The Rock ‘N Roll McDonalds is also a good treat for the kids.

During the times you decide to separate from the group, trolleys come by regularly so you never have a problem rejoining the tour.  One stop that tends to interest everyone is the Shedd Aquarium, which is the world’s largest indoor aquarium.  This is a good opportunity to give the children a break from sitting down and they have a great time looking at all the beautifully maintained fish tanks. 

While the original goal of your trip may be to focus on the kids, the whole family will enjoy this trolley tour.  Besides, getting around on a trolley is definitely the way to travel!
