Not sure about the boat tours either, but that's a great question. I'd imagine they would, provided it's not like 40 degrees and the river is partially frozen or something.
I also haven't heard of that restaurant, but it sounds cool from what you've said! I actually know rather little of dining in the city, sadly, as my experiences have almost always been with family or friends repeatedly choosing the same big names (like those I mentioned), and usually only for special events or the occasional trip into the city. Ironically, one of my really good friends is in town today with me for a fashion show, and she's a food journalist in the city, so I'll ask her for some neat kid-friendly ideas tonight!
Awesome! Thank you, kind sir!

When I went to Chicago a year ago, my dad bought the Citypass, and that gets you into most of the attractions in Chicago. Definitely check what's open or not though. I went during the summer, so most things were open, but I remember seeing a lot of date restrictions in the handbook.
Foodwise, Chicago's Chinatown is really good. More authentic and not really American-Chinese food.
Yea, I figured the rides would cost, just wasn't sure about the area itself. We did buy the city pass as well. Great value for 5 of us. Normal cost would of been almost $800 and with city pass only paid $350. I'll take that over the 800 any day lol.
We're also buying 3 day transit passes. Seems like a better deal than paying for individual rides... I think.
