Important note: The 2019 show is over, but read up so you know what to expect for next year!
I never knew how neat the annual two-week Macy's Flower Show is in Chicago! The theme for 2019 was Journey to Paradisios - Operation: Inspiration.
For starters, Macy's website for the flower show is great. They created a short, entertaining story, had a 360 degree video tour, and nice interactive map.
Noteworthy:
- This is a fun, "we are in the area" event. We live close by so it was easy to pop in to take advantage of it (and maybe scope out some backpacks).
- The experience is enhanced for younger kids if you read the story & watch the video to get them excited for store.
- Macy's creates interactive aspects throughout the exhibits:
- Count the Paradigms (little aliens) throughout the store [we counted 12, pretty sure we missed another 10-50]
- Selfie area at the teleporter
- Decode the Paradisian secret (we did it!!)
- The store hosts a lot of events and offers throughout the show. To name a few:
- Galactic Characters
- Floral Workshops
- Cooking Demonstrations
- Kids Camp
- Special drinks at the Walnut Room

The kids liked seeing the story we read come to life, looking for the Paradigms and really enjoyed decoding the alien language! Though we didn't find a backpack we liked, but can't hold that against the flower show.
