“It is hopeless for the occasional visitor to try to keep up with Chicago. She outgrows his prophecies faster than he can make them,” wrote Mark Twain in 1883. Proving him right, the city has grown to become an international hub.
Chicago is considered a great destination all year round. Among its top tourist magnets is Navy Pier, which includes the Centennial Wheel—ride it to enjoy breathtaking views of the city skyline! For a mix of nature and culture, there’s the nearly 313-acre (126.67-hectare) Grant Park. This urban park is home to Millennium Park, an award-winning cultural landmark, and the Art Institute of Chicago, which boasts an enviable collection of Impressionist paintings.
However, if you wish to explore these attractions without being in the middle of a fast-paced city such as Chicago, an outdoorsy accommodation in its vicinity might pique your interest. Read on to find the best yurts near Chicago, Illinois.
