Take advantage of free time in the morning and afternoon to shop ‘til you drop, take in the sights or relax and pamper yourself with a spa treatment. Whatever you fancy, downtown Chicago will set the stage for a memorable experience in a magnificent city. You won’t want to miss the party of the year and the one and only Jazzercise Anniversary Celebration! |

Union Station - Great Hall
Elegant. Historic. Glamorous. These are just a few words to describe Chicago’s ultimate venue — the Great Hall at Chicago Union Station. Feature films including The Untouchables, My Best Friend’s Wedding and Flags of Our Fathers have been filmed inside its four terracotta walls. And now you have the opportunity to chasse among its 18 soaring Corinthian columns and stomp your feet on its pink Tennessee marble floor. The music of Jazzercise will radiate from its spectacular barrel-vaulted, atrium ceiling as Jazzercise brings the Great Hall to life. We invite you to join us for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dance in one of Chicago’s most prestigious historic landmarks. We guarantee it will be an unforgettable experience!

Treat yourself to a night out with the girls! The Modern Wing is the largest and most significant addition to the Art Institute of Chicago since 1892.

Jazzercise will host a sophisticated celebration soiree that will delight you with its cultural enrichment, mouth-watering cuisine and festive libations preceded by a private gallery viewing. So grab a few friends and indulge yourself — at the Art Institute of Chicago, you will be right in the ART of it! |
