Chicago Lakefront Segway Tour: Grant Park & Museum Campus★★★★★★★★★★ 4.96 (388)2hYou arrive early, train for 15 minutes, then spend two hours gliding 6–8 miles past Buckingham Fountain, the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Soldier Field with a guide who keeps groups to eight people. You get the lakefront and Museum Campus without arranging transport or walking the whole distance, and you stop long enough to actually see things instead of just passing them.Is it for me?Book this if you want to cover Chicago's main lakefront attractions in two hours without renting a car or walking the whole distance — the Segway does the distance, the guide does the knowledge, and the small group size means you're not lost in a crowd.Free cancellationTravelers' pick-10%fromUS$ 63View ›
