CHICAGO
It is hard to beat a summer day at Wrigley Field when the Cubs are playing . But even if travelers cannot get tickets for a game , groups can take a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium on Chicago ’ s north side .
As part of the walks , which are available during the baseball season ( April to October ), guides share the history of the team and stadium . Fans get to go out on the field , visit the bleachers and the iconic manual scoreboard , stand in the Cubs dugout , see the visiting team ’ s clubhouse , tour the press box and more . Stops vary based on whether the Cubs have a home game that day , and the tours last 75 and 90 minutes .
Groups seeking a different type of entertainment can add an evening at Second City or the Green Mill Jazz Club . Second City is Chicago ’ s world-famous improv comedy theater , and the Green Mill is a Prohibitionera bar that was frequented by Al Capone and now features live jazz .
