Join Chicago Movie Tours on the Midway, and discover the city's film history in an entirely new way! On this leisurely 75-minute walking tour led by a Ph.D. in film, you'll visit 5 spots on the historic Midway Plaisance, once the heart of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. As you walk the now-grassy strip (0.5 mi.), you'll discover its many connections to early and modern cinema. Guests must digitally sign a general waiver of liability either before or when they arrive. Guardians must sign waivers for children under the age of 18. Note: This limited Chicago movie tour is available on Sunday mornings to give you the most accurate and unobstructed view of the Midway's monumental sculpture Fountain of Time.

Fun walk through Chicago learning about the city, movies, and history. Kelli had great visuals and kept us warm and dry in Feb with knowing how to navigate underground walkways.

I've actually done two walking tours so far - this one and the prison one, but this one surprised me by teaching me so much about the area and the people and events that had such an impact on Chicago.
