*Chicago has great museums like the Art Institute, Natural History, and Science Museums, Shedd Aquarium - all worth going to in the downtown area.
*It has a lively theatre district where you can see some great plays and musicals like The Book of Mormon, Million Dollar Quartet, La Boheme, Rigoletto, Belleville, and Elvis Lives.
*Go listen to blues at clubs like Blue Chicago, Buddy Guy's, Kingston Mines, or B.L.U.E.S.
*Go see some improvisation comedy at Second City, a training ground for many comedy performers and writers who went on to fame in TV sitcoms, movies, and Saturday Night Live.
*Have some Chicago foods like Italian Beef sandwich, deep-dish pizza, Chicago-style hot dogs, or steakhouse.
*Go on one of the Architectural Foundation's tours - walking, boat, or segway.
*Visit the Macy's on State Street, not necessarily because of shopping, but because it is the second largest department store in the world and designed by renowned architect Daniel Burnham with features like the Great Clocks and marble columns, fountain, and Tiffany ceiling plus it has these great Frango Chocolate Mints for sale.
*Go see Millennium Park which has free outdoor concerts when the weather turns nice, The Cloud Gate sculpture, Buckingham Fountain, and an art nouveau Metra entrance.
*Take public transportation - CTA will inexpensively and efficiently take you most places you need to go including taking you to downtown accommodations from both airports; plus parking is very expensive in downtown if you drive a car.
