DIVERSEY RIVER BOWL
Read moreThe best bowling alley in town! In fact, it's much more than just a bowling alley, it's an institution in its own right: thirty-six lanes, a high-tech system of baffles, smoking machines... Groups come here to throw the balls along the gutters and hit the strike, and to enjoy the overexcited atmosphere of the crowd. On Friday and Saturday nights, the place is full, but you can reserve your place by phone (but you'll be charged extra). Don't forget that Diversey River Bowl's other name is "Rock'n Bowl"!
CHICAGO SPORTS MUSEUM
Read moreUnder the aegis of the iconic figure of Harry Caray, the Chicago Sports Museum will take you on a retrospective of the history of all major sports. It's informative, but also interactive. You can practice free throws in basketball, or quarterback throws in a simulated American soccer game. And don't forget to pass through the long corridor behind the bar, where newspaper clippings from the last 100 years trace the greatest moments, exploits and curses on Chicago teams.
