The Puppet Bike
Address:
State and Lake
Chicago, Il 60601
NileGuide Expert tip:
If you've got a spare dollar, slip it into the box just below the puppets' stage and see what happens!
Description:
If you're strolling around the Loop or walking down Clark Street in Andersonville, you might come across a strange looking bike supporting a painted wooden box. If you're lucky, the mystery puppeteer behind (or inside) Chicago's Puppet Bike will be mid-show. You'll stand among a small crowd of people listening to the delightful tunes and watching the hilarious antics of a kitten, a rabbit, a monkey, and several other adorable dancing puppets. It seems like magic, but the puppets will notice a passersby and play directly to them. Although it may seem like it's geared toward children, the Puppet Bike never fails to make even the Loop's busiest businesspeople smile.
