Travel & Stay
Chicago, IL
Directions to Adler
Adler Planetarium is located on the Museum Campus overlooking Lake Michigan. You’ll get a pristine view of the Chicago skyline coupled with a great view of the lake. Which will be dark, but it’s still pretty cool we think.
Parking and entrance
Don’t drive to Adler. There’s an open bar, what are you doing driving? But there is a parking lot directly adjacent to Adler which you will be able to use should you choose to drive.
Transportation
Seriously, don’t drive to this thing. Don’t do it. Take an Uber or a Lyft.
Adler Planetarium is not very accessible via public transportation, although there is a bus from the Roosevelt train station that runs every so often.
Best practices: take the bus to Adler (if you don’t want to Uber), and take an Uber back to your hotel.
Directions to Garfield Park
Garfield Park Conservatory is located past the West Loop and Ukranian Village in the middle of the Garfield Park neighborhood.
Parking and entrance
Parking is available directly in front of the Conservatory. The entrance is right by the parking.
HTransportation
Again, don’t drive if you can’t help it, but the Green Line goes right to Garfield Park and is readily accessible
Accomodation
We don’t have any blocks of rooms currently booked, but we recommend staying in the West Loop, which is in between Adler Planetarium and Garfield Park Conservatory
Great Food Options
The West Loop and Fulton Market have a plethora of delicious food options for you to try while you’re in Chicago
Convenient Travel
