Getting here by public transporation:
Many CTA bus lines and El stations lie within a block or two, including the Red, Blue, Orange, Pink and Brown lines on the El. See www.transitchicago.com for more information. Nearby Metra stations include those at VanBuren, LaSalle and Millenium Park; find Metra maps and schedules at metrarail.com.
Getting here by car:
The Eisenhower Expressway/I-290 is a major artery for this part of downtown, but Congress Parkway is under construction, so check for notices or leave early to avoid delays. The best bet from the North or South sides (including coming up I-55) is taking Lake Shore Drive, then heading west on Balbo Avenue.
Metered street parking may be available nearby; meters accept both credit cards and cash. The Grant Park South parking garage is accessible a block away on Michigan Avenue; other private garages are available around Wabash and VanBuren.
