Grant Park: The Heart of Chicago

Getting There

• Public Transit - CTA Bus

  If you're near a CTA bus stop, take the bus that heads toward downtown Chicago. For example, if you're near State Street, you can catch the #29 State bus heading south. Get off at the intersection of State Street and Congress Parkway. From there, walk east on Congress Parkway until you reach Michigan Avenue, then turn left. Continue walking north and you will arrive at Grant Park after a few blocks.

• Public Transit - CTA Train

  If you're close to a CTA train station, take the Red Line or Blue Line towards downtown. If on the Red Line, get off at the 'Adams/Wabash' station. Exit the station and walk east on Adams Street until you reach Michigan Avenue. Turn left to head north, and after a few blocks, you will find Grant Park. If using the Blue Line, get off at the 'Washington' stop, walk a few blocks east to Michigan Avenue, and then head north to reach the park.

• Walking

  If you are already in the Loop area, simply walk towards Grant Park. For instance, if you are near Millennium Park, just walk south on Michigan Avenue until you reach the park entrance. Grant Park stretches between Michigan Avenue and Columbus Drive, so you can enter from various points along this stretch.

• Biking

  Chicago has bike rental services like Divvy. Locate a Divvy station nearby, rent a bike, and head south on Michigan Avenue. Grant Park is easily accessible from this route. Look for bike lanes along the streets to ensure a safe ride.
