The newest national park in Indiana! Be sure to check the website for parking information. On a clear day, you can see the Chicago skyline to the west!
Downtown Valpo has a lot of great lunch spots, plentiful parking, and is very walkable.
It's our favorite pizza spot. We recommend the Counselor Tripper, The Reef, or The Buff. Vegan and gluten-free options here as well!
You'll see a lot of this place, but if you're looking for great brunch and drinks, Journeyman has it all.
We are about 45-60 minutes outside of Chicago. If you rented a car, you can drive, however, downtown Valparaiso is roughly a 15-20 minute drive from a South Shore Line (website linked) train station. Dune Park station has free parking, and is about a 60 minute train ride to Millennium Station in the city!
