Whether you\u2019re a full-time Chicago resident or a temporary visitor, there is one thing everyone can agree on about the city: Chicago winters are brutal. This well-known fact is often why potential residents decide to live elsewhere, presuming they couldn\u2019t endure the more intense winter months. These gnarly winters, however, make Chicagoans appreciate spring that much more.<\/p>\n

While the weather can admittedly still be quite unpredictable, there is no shortage of things to do while taking advantage of the good days. From water activities to spring blooms, here are the Best Things To Do In Chicago This Spring:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"The<\/h4>\n

Boat Cruises + Tours<\/h4>\n

Set sail this spring with a tour of the Chicago River, Lake Michigan, or both! There are various ways to see Chicago from the water, such as the iconic architecture cruise<\/a>, a lakefront speedboat ride<\/a>, or a late-night dinner cruise. Whatever you\u2019re looking for, there is sure to be a Chicago boat cruise or tour that is right for you!<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Where<\/p>\n

See The Spring Flowers<\/h4>\n

From the downtown streets to the surrounding neighborhoods, Chicago comes to life with blooms in the spring! See colorful tulips along Michigan Avenue in the Loop, take in a sea of cherry blossoms in Jackson Park, and immerse yourself in spring flower shows and outdoor gardens at the Lincon Park Conservatory or the Garfield Park Conservatory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Architectural<\/p>\n

Kayak On The River<\/h4>\n

Paddle your way through canyons of glass and steel this spring with a kayak excursion on the Chicago River! Take a guided tour or explore at your own pace; both are great ways to take in the skyline from a totally new perspective! This activity<\/a> is great for all ages and levels of experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Chicago<\/p>\n

Catch A Game<\/h4>\n

One of the best parts about spring is baseball! Luckily for Chicago, we have two great teams to cheer on all season – the Chicago Cubs<\/a> and the Chicago White Sox<\/a>. Whether you support the Northside, the Southside, or both, be sure to get yourself a hot dog (no ketchup!) and enjoy that 7th-inning stretch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bike<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy The Lakefront Trail<\/h4>\n

Take advantage of Spring weather with a walk, run, or bike ride along the scenic Lakefront Trail! The 18-mile paved path hugs the edge of Lake Michigan, offering lake views from one end to another. If physical activity isn\u2019t your thing, there are plenty of green spaces to sit along the trail for a picnic, catching up with friends, or simply just to take in the views – it is also a prime spot to catch beautiful sunrises and sunsets!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Lincoln<\/span><\/p>\n

Explore The Zoo<\/h4>\n

While the zoo is technically open to explore year-round, springtime brings out more animals to play! Chicago\u2019s Lincoln Park Zoo<\/a> is one of the oldest zoos in the country and is home to species from all over the world. The location is nestled right into the city, offering visitors skyline and lakefront views. The best part about it is it\u2019s always free! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
