Gameworks is nice, but it's VERY overpriced (unless you're into pinball or pac-man). There is a nice movie theater right next to it though, and a very large mall across the street. Some time at Gameworks followed by a movie or mall time is a prime way to waste $28.75 per head.
Now that the weather is getting a little better, a walk around downtown Chicago is a little more feasible too. There are several museums downtown. The Aquarium is about a 1.5 mile walk from the Art Museum, and we all know how much students like to go to Art Museums. (Yeah, right) There's also a Science Museum worth visiting, from what I hear.
