Glenbrook High School District 225
Glenbrook High School...the very place Ferris was trying to avoid on his day off. This is the school that evil principal Ed Rooney rules with an iron fist (or thinks he rules...Ferris actually runs the show around here).

370 Beech St
In Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Cameron's home is, as Ferris described, "very cold, very beautiful, and you can't touch anything." Well, that is, unless you're Ferris and you can convince Cameron into sneaking his dad's Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder convertible out. This is also where they destroy said car while trying to erase the evidence of their day off.

Wrigley Field
The specific day that is Ferris Bueller's Day Off, was likely June 5th 1985 based on the baseball game Ferris, Cameron and Sloan attended at Wrigley Field. Ferris and Co. also catch a Cubs game at Wrigley Field, another classic Chicago activity. Luckily, very little has changed at this iconic ballpark since the movie was filmed.

Willis Tower
Willis Tower (commonly known as the Sears Tower) is the second-tallest building in the US, with 108 stories making it a whopping 1,451 feet tall. The trio from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, come here to glance down at the city, and famously stand on the railings and place their foreheads on the glass to look straight down, inspiring the building's Skydeck to put in several glass ledges.

The Art Institute of Chicago
Ferris, Sloane and Cameron visit the illustrious Art Institute of Chicago in a lovely little montage in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Check out the pieces they saw: Portrait of Balzac, the Picasso portraits, the America Windows, and, of course, Georges Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. It's not hard to see why Cameron was entranced by the pointillism of the painting!

Glencoe Beach
Glencoe Beach is the first place Sloane and Ferris take Cameron after his spazz out from seeing the mileage on his dad's Ferrari. The fact that it's a Midwestern city with beaches is one of the coolest features of Chicago, and even though Glencoe is a lovely place to spend an afternoon, it's not enough to bring Cameron out of his comatose state in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
