When traveling to Chicago, you can get from one place to another in relative ease using any means of public transportation: Metra, South Shore Line, Taxi or Bus. But we like to walk.
Of course, we took advantage of all the available transportation options but hitting the streets on our feet gave us the best view.
We entered Chicago utilizing the South Shore Line from Chesterton, Dunes Park. It was an amazing ride that delivered us to Millennium Park and everything we wished to see. For $7.25 per person, one way, it was cheaper than finding parking for the day and much less headache.
A taxi dropped us off at a location but the RED Line took us back to the Aquarium and our feet took us nearly everywhere else.
With a fantastic thunder storm brewing, we were able to enjoy the wet, steamy streets of Chicago…up close and personal.
At the end of the day, we boarded the South Shore Line back to our starting point, just a few miles from the hotel.
It was a great day.
