Travel Note
AirBnB
While there is only one hotel that is close to the venue, Oak Park and neighboring Forest Park are highly residential areas, with plenty of AirBnB options available to rent. We encourage you to book before June 1, as spaces tend to book up quickly.
Train
Chicago CTA "L" - Green Line
To get to and from downtown Chicago, the CTA Green Line is the most convenient way to travel. To get to Oak Park, take the Green line towards "Harlem/Lake" and get off at the Harlem & Lake stop (the last one). The venue is about a 10-minute walk from the train station. To get to downtown, get on the Green Line at Harlem & Lake towards Ashland/63rd. The "State and Lake" stop is in the city center, but we recommend using a GPS app on your phone to find the closest station to your destination. You can purchase a fare card at the stations or use "tap-to-pay" on your phone to pay the entry fare ($2.50 per ride).
