3 Shopping Tours in Chicago to Build a Day Around

1.Outdoor Escape Room in Chicago – Fulton Market

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) Our pick

You and up to five companions investigate a murder around Fulton Market using a physical puzzle box, real-world clues, and an app. Expect about two hours of walking, problem-solving, and exploring shops and bars as you eliminate six suspects, motives, and crime scenes.

“It was fun to explore a part of Chicago we may not have ever thought to go to. The experience also brings you into different shops and bars, which was a little odd with kids. It has you open the box and start the mystery on an intersection which made it hard to hear the video. Would be better to open the box and hear the video in the car before hand. We all finished with mixed feelings about this. The clues are challenging and the teens in our group lost interest halfway.”

3.Harry Potter Shop Chicago: Confectionary Collection

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) · from $39Best value

Spend about 1 to 2 hours exploring Harry Potter Shop Chicago, where themed rooms, props, exclusive merchandise, and a Butterbeer Bar share space in the heart of Chicago. The $39 admission includes entry, while food and shop purchases are extra. Expect a self-guided visit with a mobile ticket.

“WE didn't buy the tickets...we just went in and got the butter beer. It was so good. Pretty pricey. It was a long line for the cafe and bathrooms. The store was really crowded and the two clothing items my kids wanted were out of their size. And, not sold online. Neat atmosphere if you are into HP.”
