Things To Do
Many of you are local, some of you are not, so here's a few fun things to do if time allows:
- Downtown Arlington Heights (about 10 minutes from hotel): many fun shops, restaurants, parks, and bars
- Downtown Chicago (via CTA Blue Line in Rosemont, Metra Station in Arlington Heights, Uber, or car): from The Bean to high-end shopping on Michigan Avenue and Oak Street to the fun neighborhoods such as West Loop and Boystown, there's always something fun to do in the city. Take a walk at Navy Pier or Millennium Park, spend a day at one of the many museums, or reserve an Architectural Tour on the Chicago River... the possibilities are endless!
**The closest Metra Station is Downtown Arlington Heights**
**The closest CTA Station (The "L" or "El") is in Rosemont**
