You can take the megabus to and from Indy at about $40 round trip. Likewise there are some nice cheaper hotels off of grant park in the south loop. The Travelodge on Harrison is located close to transit, and the Best Western on 11th street is located close to the museum campus, public transit, and Grant Park.
If you are going to a show and are a college student/are taking a college student there are many discounts (Blue Man Group tickets are around $20 to $30.
I would go to the John Hancock Skydeck, its nicer than the Sears and you get a better view. Also there are sometimes Fireworks at Navy Pier so I would check on those.
I personally like the Lincoln Park Zoo.
If you're interested in things like Segway Tours they run a bit of cash but they are a lot of fun, however be warned, it's more about riding a segway than learning about Chicago.
