Chicago, in the heart of February, offers a vibrant array of activities that cater to all interests, from outdoor adventures and cultural experiences to unique events and hidden gems.
For those who enjoy the cold, outdoor ice skating is a must. You can skate at the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink in front of The Bean, although it's closed after February 2. Alternatively, the skating ribbon at Maggie Daley Park is open and offers a path twice the length of a traditional skating rink. If you're looking for more skating options, Maggie Daley Park and the MLK Skating and Bowling Center are great spots, with the latter hosting special events like the Wicked Galentine’s Skate and Black History Month Hip Hop Legends Skate or Bowl[1][3].
Music lovers have several exciting events to look forward to. On February 14, Phantogram will be performing at the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom as part of their Running THROUGH Colors Tour. This promises to be an electrifying evening of music. Additionally, classical music enthusiasts can enjoy the Candlelight Concerts series, which includes tributes to Rihanna, U2, Hans Zimmer, and Bollywood and Tollywood on Strings[1][2].
Comedy fans can laugh out loud with Taylor Tomlinson’s The Save Me Tour at The Chicago Theatre on February 14. This highly anticipated show is set to deliver a night of clever humor and witty observations[2].
For a dose of culture and art, the Garfield Park Conservatory and the Lincoln Park Conservatory are must-visits. The Garfield Park Conservatory, one of the largest botanical conservatories in the US, is hosting the annual Spring Flower Show, “Rooted in Mystery,” starting February 12. This show features a marvelous display of spring plants, including azaleas, pansies, and various types of tulips and daffodils. The Lincoln Park Conservatory is also hosting its Spring Flower Show, “Spectrum of Spring,” which highlights the color families of plants and flowers[1].
Navy Pier is another hub of activity, especially for families. From February 1 to 14, the South Dock is transformed into an illuminated Tunnel of Love, perfect for romantic photos. Every Saturday in February, the Black Makers Market at Navy Pier showcases local African American artisans, designers, and entrepreneurs, offering a variety of original products. Don’t miss the Valentine’s Day Fireworks at Navy Pier on February 14 for a spectacular display[1].
Sports enthusiasts can catch exciting games, such as the Loyola Chicago Men's Basketball vs. Saint Louis on February 14 and the Loyola Chicago Women's Basketball vs. Duquesne on February 15, both at the Gentile Arena[3].
Foodies will enjoy Chicago Restaurant Week, which runs from January 24 to February 9, offering a chance to sample the city’s diverse culinary scene.

For a unique experience, join a food tour to explore the city’s gastronomic delights[1].
The Field Museum, one of the largest natural history museums in the world, is home to Maximo, the Titanosaur, and offers an Early Access VIP Tour to avoid crowds. This is a great place to learn and be amazed by natural history[1].
If you're looking for something unique and adventurous, consider the Night Snowtubing event on February 22, where you can enjoy snowtubing in the evening. For nature lovers, the Matthiessen State Park Hike on March 8 is a great opportunity to explore the outdoors[4].
