Entertainment & Activities

Grant Park is directly next to Millennium Park in the heart of downtown Chicago. There are so many beautiful little space within both parks with great skyline views. We particularly like the Grand Park Music Festival: http://www.grantparkmusicfestival.com/ It's free with great live, mostly classical, music. We like to pack a picnic and blanket as you will sitting on the lawn.

Getting Around

We are very near both the Damen and Western Blue Stops. The blue line runs from O'hare....super easy if you are flying in from O'hare. It also runs downtown to the Loop.
