Sightseeing

One of the most underrated museums in the city. Doesn't have the "blockbuster" exhibits or space of some of the better known museums, but it's FREE and has an amazing array of artifacts and info.

Lakefront fire pits are first come first served. This is a great park to bring a Frisbee, start up the bike trail or lay out in the sun. A well known spot in Hyde Park.

Well-maintained and beautiful lakefront trail for running, biking, etc. Goes all the way to downtown and further north. Easiest access near us is under the bridge on 55th St, where it meets the lake.
