Things to do / Travel Guide

Regardless of the temperature outside, snuggling up in a carriage ride is a great way to see the region of Chicago and southern Wisconsin. Horse-drawn carriages are a throwback to yesteryear, and it's still an amazing way to get to know an area. Tours can last between 20 minutes and one hour, depending on your desires.

Chicago offers walk-up carriage rides in the downtown Loop area. Stands can be found along Michigan Avenue and State Street. The carriage rides in Chicago highlight the Loop area like the skyscrapers and riverfront, Michigan Avenue, the lakefront, Grant Park, and the amazing architecture and design of Millennium Park.

While in the southern Wisconsin cities of Milwaukee and Madison, carriage-ride reservations are required. Tours in southern Wisconsin are a bit more flexible than those in Chicago, with a wider range of destinations all over the cities.
