Things To Do in Chicago

Looking for things to do in Chicago while visiting? Once you’ve viewed the City of Chicago from 103rd floor of Willis Tower, visited the Navy Pier, and walked through the Millennium Park, you'll be ready for something a little different. Something with a little more speed and horsepower. Imagine walking through a Classic Auto Museum and seeing rows and rows of beautiful classic cars, exotic cars, and all-American muscle cars. If that revs your engine, you need to experience Gateway Classic Cars while you're in Chicago.
