Travel Note
Rental cars are available at Peoria International Airport (PIA) for those who prefer their own transportation. Uber and Lyft are also available in the area, but availability may be limited at night—especially in Eureka—so we recommend planning ahead if using a rideshare service.
Flight
For our out-of-town guests flying in, the nearest airport is General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport (PIA). The airport is small and easy to navigate, offering direct flights from several major cities. Once you arrive, Peoria is about a 15-minute drive from downtown hotels and about a 35-minute drive to our reception venue, The Cannery in Eureka. Rental cars, rideshare services (Uber & Lyft), and taxis are available at the airport for convenient transportation. While PIA is the closest and most convenient airport, flights in and out of Peoria can sometimes be more expensive than larger nearby airports.
Flight
Another option is flying into Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) or Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW). Both airports are about a 2.5-hour drive from Peoria. Flights into Chicago may be less expensive than flying directly into Peoria, depending on where you're coming from. If you're flying into Chicago, renting a car is the easiest way to get to Peoria and around town. Both O’Hare and Midway have a wide selection of rental car companies, including Enterprise, Hertz, and Budget. The drive from Chicago to Peoria is straightforward, primarily along I-55 S and I-74 W.
