Wrigley Field

Even when baseball's not in season, there's plenty to do at this legendary stadium, erected in 1914 and reinvigorated by an ownership change in 2010. Seasonal weekly tours offer an insider peek at the Friendly Confines, and, come winter, you can skate on an ice rink just outside of the field. Keep your eyes on the website for quick-to-sell-out special events, including ice-hockey games, college football matches and inexpensive charity events that allow the public to prance on the field.
