Perfectly situated among some of the city's most prized offerings, the land surrounding Soldier Field is ideal for killing time before kickoff or coming down from the excitement of a game after the final field goal. The Chicago Bears Fan's Guide helps you decide how to spend your time wisely.
Downtown Chicago is a gold mine of activity and entertainment, and lucky for Bears fans, Soldier Field is perfectly placed within it.
Adjacent to the stadium, The Field Museum (1400 S. Lake Shore Dr; 312-922-9410) has hours of history available for your indulgence. From mummies to the American pioneers and all the way back to a T-Rex named Sue, the Field Museum has something for everyone’s interests.
The rest of the Museum Campus is just as exceptional. The Adler Planetarium (1300 S. Lakeshore Dr; 312-922-7827) andShedd Aquarium (1200 S Lakeshore Dr; 312-939-2438) are within walking distance of one another and make for bountiful trips. Park the car early for that great spot, then spend the time before kickoff roaming around the scenic land of Soldier Field’s back yard.
For a less educational adventure, a short trip up Michigan Avenue by bus, cab or even a nice stroll leads past some of Chicago’s finest parks, outdoor art and of course, shopping to the Magnificent Mile. A strip of some of the world’s best retail, history and culture, the Mag Mile will pump you up before or after game time.
