Milwaukee and Chicago
We are thinking of taking a trip from Rhode Island to Chicago and Milwaukee this summer. We will be going through Pennsylvania...stopping at Knoebels for a couple of days. Does anyone have suggestions...

Yes it was. And for an RV'er that has never traveled to Chicago it points out the difficulty going there in an RV. I know I would appreciate the heads up knowing that fact 'before' I headed into it.
As others have said, you can stay at McCormick place..(parking lot and pricey,...
Funny no one wants to list what they paid to park in that parking lot
Last time I took my MH to McCormick place for an event the RV parking was $100.00 to park in a concrete parking lot with NO hookups. And I can't remember if you can't stay overnight or if it was the CP that told me it wouldn't be a safe place to do so.
That was over 15 years ago so I am going to guess it's most likely more today and you would still need a car or pay for a taxi everyday. Or perhaps they've added hookups? My guess is not.
If you have a 'car' and are 'staying at a hotel' YES Chicago is a GREAT place to see. Museum, Shedd, and Planetarium are the only places a kid might enjoy and quite frankly IMHO those type of venues can be seen in most cities that are far more RV friendly to access.
But it is NOT RV friendly and the closest CG with hookups is NOT close. Which means you would have to have a car to go there everyday. OP states they are traveling in a MH. Even with a TT or FW driving/parking a truck within the city limits poses it's own problems. Driving a MH is not conducive to sightseeing in Chicago.
That is the reality of RV'ing into Chicago.
