Typically, the weather in Chicago in October is very nice. The days tend to be
warm (50s or 60s) and the nights are cool (40s or 50s). Usually, the sun shines
during the beginning and middle of the month, but it starts into the november
rains at the end. I like October in the Chicago area. The first rule of
dealing with the weather in Chicago, though, is if you don't like the weather,
wait 10 minutes and it'll change so come prepared for a variety of conditions.

What to do in Chicago? Just about anything you want. Chicago's got something
for everybody. In to technology? there's the Museum of Science and Industry.
Like natural history? visit the Field Museum, which happens to be very close
to the Adler Planitarium and the Shed Aquarium. And of course there's the Art
Museum for art lovers. 

If you like animals, hang out on the street awhile :-) or go to either Lincoln 
Park or Brookfield (Brookfield Zoo is not actually in
the City, but it's not too far from it). I haven't been to Lincoln Park in
several years, but a friend of mine tells me that it's been completely
renovated. If you happen to catch one of the beautiful indian summer days that
we sometime get in mid october, I highly recommend a trip out to Brookfield;
it's great in the fall.  

For a great view, go to the observation decks of either the Hancock Building
or the Sears Tower.

You can get virtually any kind of ethnic food in Chicago. There's Greek Town
for greek food or China Town for chinese. How many other cities have a style
of pizza named after them?

In short, you should be able to keep real busy if you want. Hope you enjoy
your visit.
