Attractions
Streeterville is a popular neighborhood among visitors to Chicago, in that it has museums, theater, shopping, dining and entertainment all in one place.
The Streeterville neighborhood includes one of the best-known museums in Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art. The MCA holds over 6,000 objects of art in all media and genres, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos, film and performance pieces. The building itself is impressive, with a view of Lake Michigan and a beautiful outdoor sculpture garden. The Museum hosts several events throughout the year, including Free Tuesdays, 8-Minute Dating, a Book Fair and The Literary Gangs of Chicago.
Another major Streeterville attraction is The Chicago Shakespeare Theater, which was founded in 1986 and moved to Navy Pier in 1999. This theater is dedicated to bringing to life the works of William Shakespeare and holds 510 seats on three levels that curve around the stage. The theater, although it seats hundreds of people, retains a very intimate air; there are only nine rows of seats, so audience members in the most distant seats are still very close to the stage.
The theater offers visitors a variety of ways to spend time before the show begins. There are lobbies with views of Lake Michigan, as well as a bookstore, a pub, and even a pre-show with a member of the cast or with a Shakespeare scholar. The theater also sponsors Team Shakespeare, one of the country’s largest arts-in-education programs that offers a collection of on-site teaching and reference materials, affordable tickets to students and free teacher workshops.
Streeterville is also home to Navy Pier, one of Chicago’s best-known destinations. The Pier draws over 8 million visitors each year. Built in 1909, Navy Pier has undergone many changes, resulting in the family-oriented, fun-filled entertainment spot it is today. The list of things-to-do is long: there is a Ferris wheel, a carousel, an old-fashioned swing ride, a miniature golf course, a cliff climb, a maze, a children’s museum and an IMAX theater to keep the kids entertained for hours. There is also a convention hall for large groups.
In addition there are shops, boat cruises, two performance stages, the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows. Clearly, Navy Pier is a microcosm that offers hours of entertainment for every member of the family.
Of course, all this activity can lead to a big appetite. For this reason, Navy Pier boasts a number of restaurants. Apart from street vendors selling everything from Italian ice to elephant ears, there are establishments such as Billy Goat’s Tavern, Bubba Gump, Capi’s Italian Kitchen, the Dock Street Café and Haagen Dazs.
A few steps away from Navy Pier is Ohio St. Beach, a cozy little beach that is frequented by inhabitants of Streeterville. There is a lifeguard on duty, making this beach child-friendly. The landscape around the beach is surreal; it is interesting to enjoy a day at the beach while being gazed down upon by some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers.
pritzker military libraryFor those interested in the history of the Citizen Soldier, Streeterville’s Pritzker Military Library is a good place to visit. The library contains over 9000 volumes focusing on 20th century modern warfare and the American Civil War and is dedicated to portraying the soldier as essential to the preservation of democracy.
