Where should I take 8 summer interns on an outing in Chicagoland?

As part of our college internship program, the company I work for typically has a sponsored outing (sometime in late June-early July) for students. It is usually on a weekday evening.

In the past, we've gone to Brookfield Zoo and to Second City. I am hoping that the hive mind can help me come up with a few more interesting options for this year. Thanks in advance!

The Taste of Chicago will be going on then, and as long as you go on a weekday that isn't the 3rd or 4th the crowd shouldn't be unbearable.

A Chicago Sky WNBA game?

Baseball game, soccer game, concert at Ravinia, concert at Millennium Park. Oh and Art Institute and MCA have at least one night a week they're open late, I think.

Wrigley Field on a nice summer day is great place to be with a group.

2nding architecture boat tour. It's a wonderful way to get a new perspective on the city, and it's nice to spend an hour on the water.

If you're out late on a Friday/Saturday, check out the Neo-Futurists. (I work with them.)
