McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink

This rink is packed on winter weekends, but as you elbow past fellow skaters you’ll have a great view of the stunning buildings along Michigan Avenue. After you’ve built up an appetite from twirling (or falling), get something to eat at the 300-seat Park Grill restaurant next door. In warmer months, bask in the sun and enjoy some grub at the ice rink, which becomes an outdoor dining area.
