Breeze Through the Windy City!

The museum campus is also nestled next to both MillenniumPark and Navy Pier. Millennium Park is a collection of gardens, architecture and beautiful landscaping that hosts a variety of activities from live entertainment in Pritzker Pavilion to family activities and exhibits. In addition, the park is home to CrownFountain, a 50 foot glass tower with video imaging that doubles as a mini-water park.

 Minutes away is Navy Pier. Navy Pier is home to the Chicago Children’s Museum as well as countless boat tours. In addition, Navy Pier is home to an 18- hole miniature golf course, carousel, and the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel which offers unparalleled views of the Chicago skyline, as well as other rides. The pier is also home to its very own IMAX theatre as well as many restaurants.

There are many RV parks within 50 miles of downtown Chicago. One of the most popular is Illinois Beach State Park in Zion, IL. Only 45 minutes from downtown Chicago, Illinois Beach State Park sits on the shores of Lake Michigan. 

If you’d rather not drive around the city, there’s plenty of public transportation to get you around. Visitors may utilize both the Metra and CTA train systems as well as the CTA bus system and, for a ride with more views, the Chicago Trolley and Double Decker Co.
