I've been out a few times to visit friends. Shedd Aquarium is pretty cool.

Shedd Aquarium is pretty cool.

Some people will do anything to catch a "fall" fish... :

Hey I'd check out what festivals will be going on at that time. The blue or jazz fests are pretty cool to go see. If you come at the end of June you can go to the Taste of Chicago, try out alot of food or check out all the free concerts. You can always go to Milennium Park and check out the stuff there like the "bean." Thats a pretty nice place plus again they have free concerts. Sometimes they have free movies in the parks too. Take a walk along the lake front, nice views you could even bring a pole. There's a zoo not too far away either, but I like the aquarium. There have different shuttles and stuff you can take that are usually free to get around to the museums, planetarium, aquarium, and some other place once you are downtown. You culd always take a ride on the Orange Line/El assuming the CTA actually establishes a budget by next year and can still operate.

If you have any other questions let me know,
