The 2024 installment of Visit All the Ballparks brought us to Chicago!
We had a ton of fun just walking around, taking in the sights, and watching some (mostly bad) baseball. Also low 80s in July?? HELLO??
One of my favorite parts was how open the city felt: even though there are several absolutely massive buildings, the wide streets and the river help it not feel claustrophobic. It is, however, a physically large city and we didn’t come close to seeing it all.
See below for our itinerary and if you scroll past the first gallery you may find some bonus content 👀
