Chicago is definitely the place to be on Christmas. From the Magnificent Mile to State Street, people from all over the state travel here to meet Saint Nick and see the spectacular displays that can only be in a place that's only second to New York when it comes to dazzle, sparkle, and a skyline you'll never forget. If you want to see Santa in Chicago, look no further than the famous John Hancock, Daley Plaza, Lincoln Park Zoo, and, you guessed it, Navy Pier.
Santa at John Hancock
See Santa at almost 1,000 feet above the city. Adults can take one child, ages 3 to 11, to sit with Santa from November 5 through December 24, noon to 4 p.m. on weekends. John Hancock Observatory is located at 875 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago. Call 888-875-VIEW. Tickets are $15.
Daley Plaza
Head over to Daley Plaza to hand your wish list over to Saint Nick for free. You can take pictures with Santa, too, but be prepared to stand in line for a bit. Santa will be at Daley Plaza from November 24 through December 23 from 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Friday-Sunday. Daley Plaza is located at 50 W. Washington, Chicago. Call 312-744-3315.
Lincoln Park Zoo
There's no better place to take your kids to see Santa than Lincoln Park Zoo, where kids can also interact with animals of all kinds. Santa chats with kids for free through December 23 (Friday-Sunday) from 5 p.m.-9 p.m. The zoo is located at 2200 N. Canon Drive, Chicago. Call 312-742-2000.
Note: While Santa has lots of work to do after December 23, you can still stop by Lincoln Park Zoo for the ZooLights festivities, which run nightly from December 16th through January 1 until 9 p.m.
Navy Pier
Kids will get a special treat when they pay a visit to Santa Claus at Navy Pier's Dock Street this holiday season. Mrs. Claus will be there to help Santa take notes and get the elves in gear so kids can receive their Christmas gifts on time this year! After making the lists, Santa and Mrs. Claus will join families to watch a spectacular fireworks display over beautiful Lake Michigan. The festivities run from November 27 through December 24, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Friday through Sunday, and 11 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. On Christmas Eve, hours are 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Remember, Santa has lots of work to do, so get there as early as possible on Christmas Eve! Meet Santa at the Family Pavilion Stage (west end of Pier close to IMAX), 600 E. Grand Ave., Chicago. Call 312-595-7437.
