Nine stops I keep coming back to, the way you reread a favorite chapter or show up for a doubleheader you didn't plan on. Some are hushed, some are loud with field-trip groups, all are worth the coat check fee. If you've only got one Sunday, start at the lake and work your way inland.

2Adler Planetarium	1300 S DuSable Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60605	Chicago	Best cheap seats in the city, and the view outside photographs better than most of the exhibits.
3Shedd Aquarium	1200 S DuSable Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60605	Chicago	The belugas out-charisma most sitcom leads, and they don't need a laugh track.

5National Museum of Mexican Art	1852 W 19th St, Chicago, IL 60608	Chicago	Free admission, unfairly under-visited, like a great backlist title everyone should have read by now.
6DuSable Museum of African American History	740 E 56th Pl, Chicago, IL 60637	Chicago	Small building, dense chapters, worth clearing your whole afternoon for.
