Bobby's Tike Hike: Kid's Edition
Bobby's Tike Hike was created with your kids in mind, perfect for families with kids 10 and under. A wide array of fun things await your family such as a hidden garden, petting the animals at Lincoln Park Zoo, tossing coins at the wishing fountain, rubbing the foot of a GIANT Abe Lincoln, and biking Chicago's magnificent lakefront trail. We'll throw in Chicago history and trivia with fun and prizes to boot. And don't worry, we'll even keep you and the older kids entertained as well. Tours depart daily at 10am as the sun times are low, crowds are small, and safety is at a premium. And a word of advice for parents trying to juggle small children with older siblings: Don't call it a 'Tike Hike' to the older kids. Instead call it 'Bobby's Adventure Series' or something like that. Easier sell :) Parents, please reserve the Tike Hike one day in advance. Includes bicycle, helmet, guide and a guaranteed great time!
