Magnificent Mile
-
For couples who want to experience the city lights, they can check into a hotel along Michigan Avenue and spend the weekend exploring stunning downtown. South of the river is Millennium Park, which features a large ice rink during the winter. Even if they don't know how to skate well, the point is holding hands with the other, keeping one another steady while they glide between Chicago's beautiful skyline and frozen Lake Michigan. Rental skates are available. After couples have walked the strip and bought each other some gifts at one of the many stores on the Magnificent Mile, they can snuggle up together with a horse and carriage ride.

Starved Rock

This beautiful state park can be a very romantic setting for nature lovers. Lovebirds can camp out at Starved Rock, or stay in their lodge. The most surprising landscapes of hills and waterfalls can be found here in the otherwise flat state of Illinois. The peaks aren't as high as the mountains of America's west, but taking a hike at Starved Rock with your beloved will serve the same purpose. Starved Rock State Park is just two hours west of Chicago.
