Things To Do
Downtown Chicago
The Wheeling Metra Station is just 2 miles from the Westin North Shore. Take a 30 minute train ride ($7 dollars for a weekend pass) and find yourself in the heart of downtown Chicago for endless eats, adventures, shows, and views!
Historic Pickwick Theater and Uptown Park Ridge
A true Park Ridge and Chicago icon! Built in 1928 this Art Deco movie palace is one of the most beautiful theaters in the Midwest. If you have time, catching a movie here is such a special local experience - and one that is a favorite spot of the bride and groom! Some of our favorites in Uptown Park Ridge are: Harp and Fiddle, Fire and Wine, Pazzi di Pizza, and Pennyville Station.
Chicago Botanic Garden
A must-see for nature lovers. Wander through 27 themed gardens, lakes, bridges, and peaceful walking paths. It's extremely aesthetic for photos and perfect for a relaxing morning or afternoon adventure!
Downtown Highland Park
A cute vibrant downtown full of boutiques, cafes, and local restaurants. Pair it with a trip to the Botanic Garden for a full day out!
