Chicago on a January weekend.. what to do?

Recommended Posts

We'll be arriving at Union Station sometime Saturday on the California Zephyr. Scheduled for 3pm arrival, but this is Amtrak so it could be midnight. If we arrive on time,, there's a barcade we want to hit that evening (they have the new James Bond pinball machine!). Going to a hockey game Sunday evening.  Flying home Monday.

So... what should we do all day Sunday? Any recommendations for an awesome hotel near the train station and United Center? What's best for ground transportation  - taxi, Uber, light rail?

TIA!

I’ve been in Chicago a fair amount as a tourist; my brother lives there. Depends on what you like — Chicago has it. Museums (Science and Indistey is awesome), nature, the Botanic Garden has a really wonderful winter exhibition, but a lot of it might be plants you see every day. Navy Pier has a lot to do, even in winter. Light rail is great in Chicago, too. Of course, that depends on where you want to go… And there are lots of walkable neighborhoods, with neighborhood bars and restaurants and shops, that give you an idea of why some people like urban living.
