Train
Public Transit
Like any big city, traffic and parking can be tricky in Chicago. If you're up for it, we highly recommend utilizing the CTA while you're here! You can download the Ventra App to purchase tickets or weekend passes in advance of your trip so you don't have to worry about using a kiosk at the stations. Feel free to reach out to Jake or Ally if you need any help with this!
Hotel
The Carleton of Oak Park Hotel
If you’d prefer to not stay in the city, this hotel in Oak Park is just west of the city, and about 2 miles to the venue. Unlike Crowne Plaza, there will not be a room block or a shuttle from this location.
