Getting Here

Champaign has an airport, but it is cheaper to fly to Chicago (or Indianapolis). If you fly to Champaign, the venue is a short Uber/Lyft/cab ride away. If you fly in to Chicago, look at the bus and train services we recommend.

Train

Train from Chicago to Champaign

Amtrak is a nice way to travel; the train ride takes around 2.5 hours. However, you have to get from the airport to the Union Station in Chicago via public transport (the Metra train) or Uber/Lyft/cabs.

Travel Note

Bus from Chicago To Champaign

Peoria Charter (recommended), Illini Shuttle, and Greyhound buses frequent from O'Hare and Midway airports in Chicago to Champaign downtown. For these buses, get off at 'Illini terminal' in Champaign.
