one day in chicago with a toddler: worth the hype?

We’re planning a quick stop in Chicago this summer with our little one, who just turned one. I’ve always heard about deep dish pizza, but honestly, is it really that good or just tourist hype? We’re willing to wait in line if it’s worth it, but I don’t want to end up with a cranky baby and greasy fingers for nothing. Also, I’m torn about what to do in just one day. Millennium Park looks gorgeous in photos, but is it actually stroller-friendly, or will we be dodging crowds the whole time? I’d love to find a spot where our kiddo can crawl around safely while we soak in the city vibes. Any hidden gems for families that aren’t packed with tourists? We want to make the most of our day, but I’m worried we’ll spend more time stuck in traffic or searching for parking than actually enjoying the city. Has anyone managed to see the best of Chicago with a toddler in tow, or is it just wishful thinking? I’d love to hear what worked (or didn’t) for you. #ChicagoTrip #TravelWithKids #FamilyAdventures #Travel
