There’s lots to do and see any time of the year in the Windy City.

This free events guide should provide you (and your family) with a number of ideas on where to go. From free museum days to free ice skating, this is a great guide to fun in Chicago.

It is so cold in Chicago right now, that i’m sure there are make-shift skating rinks everywhere. But the official skating rink in Chicago (open to the general public) is at Millennium Park and this is one of the more inexpensive activities of winter time. Great for a date, a family trip, a weekend dinner, etc.

Neat thing is you can skate for free, all you pay for is skate rental. The Chicago skating rink is open till March 15th and it is completely free if you bring your own skates.

Open everyday from 10am to 10pm, what better way to get those buns moving and see the sights and sounds of the fabulous Second City.

Event Description reads:
Go-go dancing was popular in the ’60s and ’70s. Think Marcia from “The Brady Bunch,” Goldie Hawn from “Laugh In” or those “shagalicious” ladies from the Austin Powers films. Go-go dancing provides an all-over workout: arms, hips and thighs. It’s a little bit of cabaret movement combined with groovy tunes and hip shaking and arm swirling.
This event sounds like a randy dandy heck of a good time to me and it will be held at the Big City Swing venue in Chicago, IL.
I always look forward to the Goldstar email because not only do they list the coolest and hottest shows to check out in the city, be it a play, theatre show, comedy night, or a groovy 60’s themed workout) They also provide HUGE discounts usually more than half off.
How does it work? Go to Goldstar and sign up for a free account. Browse the Chicago events list and buy your tickets online directly through the site. That’s it. Enjoy the show!
