This is a popular summer destination, due to this we recommend that you book your stay asap. There are numerous options near the venue. We recommend staying in three oaks, lakeside, or union pier.
Getting there
Airport
We highly reccomend that you fly into midway (MDW) as it is located on the southside of chicago and will make the drive much shorter.

The amtrak from union station and The southshore Line from Millennium Park both run to the area. These are great options with one way tickets typically being less than $14.
