The Illinois Science + Technology Park is just 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, its great nightlife, fabulous culture and breathtaking architecture.

The City of Chicago

Among America's most vibrant cities, Chicago and the metropolitan region offers a wide variety of art, culture, shopping, dining, sports, miles of lakefront hiking and biking trails, beaches, over 500 parks, and many distinctive and attractive neighborhoods for every lifestyle.

Other cities may boast must-see attractions, but the quality and quantity of things to see and do puts Chicago into a class of its own. The Art Institute, Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Navy Pier, Wrigley Field, Millennium Park, the city's world class architecture, its great restaurants and cafes, comedy clubs, music and outdoor film festivals, neighborhood parades, historic places, upscale shopping venues and quaint neighborhood boutiques, dinner theaters, jazz and blues clubs, are but a small sample of the things that make Chicago stand out. People from all around the world continue to settle in Chicago, bringing energy and diversity to the rich fabric of the City's tapestry.
