The Windy City is ready to thaw out after a long winter's slumber. As the residents of our Chicago, IL apartments start to shed those layers in favor of light jackets, we've found a few ways you can enjoy your springtime free time!
Catch a Baseball Game
Fewer things scream spring quite like Opening Day at a baseball diamond. Whether you're in the Cubs club, live and breathe the White Sox, or you really don't know anything about the game at all, make sure you pencil in a game early in the season. Grab a hot dog while you're there–the game's just not the same without one!
Head to the Navy Pier
The Navy Pier is one of Chicago's most notable destinations all year long, but there's something really special about the experiences it offers when spring starts to settle in. Take a ride to the top of Centennial Wheel or enjoy a day filled with childlike whimsy atop a horse on the Carousel.
Spend an Afternoon at the Zoo
Sure, the polar bears and penguins have been enjoying the frigid temperatures and blustery winds that have taken Chicago by storm over the past few months, but there are plenty of furry friends who have been anxiously awaiting the day when the thermometer starts to climb. If you're lucky, you might get to meet a zoo baby that arrived into the world just in time to see the seasons switch over!
Bike Around Lake Michigan
Take in the shoreline of Lake Michigan on two wheels as the water starts to turn back into its liquid state after spending several months under a frozen top layer. Consider taking a ride around Millennium Park, too. If you've been a resident of the city for a while, Millennium Park is a great way to see Chicago through the eyes of a tourist.
Find a "Wine Walk"
There's no shortage of awesome eateries with outstanding wine selections in Chicago. Take advantage of the opportunities by imbibing in a wine walk this spring! Get to know local businesses while enjoying thoughtfully selected grape-and-appetizer pairings.
Spring is the perfect time to start fresh with a new-to-you apartment. Check out the floor plans we currently have available in our Presidential Towers community!
