ADDRESS: Garfield Park Conservatory - 300 North Central Park Avenue GETTING TO THE VENUE: Keep in mind- Although only 7 miles from the hotels, Chicago traffic could be 25-35 minutes to get there. Uber/Lyft, Taxi, Drive, or take the 'L' train (Green Line: Conservatory-Central Park Drive stop) *LEAVING THE VENUE:* Please note, the venue is not in the nicest area of the city.

Train

THE 'L' TRAIN

The train is a really easy way to get around, only $2.25 a ride. The train lines are by colors. VENUE: Green Line- The venue is right off of the Conservatory-Central Park Drive stop, steps away. We recommend only using the train to get TO the wedding, do not use when leaving MIDWAY AIRPORT: Orange Line - Use this from Midway Airport to get downtown, close to the hotels O'HARE AIRPORT: Blue Line- Use this from O'Hare Airport to get downtown, close to the hotels

Travel Note

UBER & LYFT

This is how we get around everywhere. And everyone will likely use this to get to and from the venue. Download the apps. :)

AirBnB

If you don't want to stay in a hotel, AirBnB has amazing options all around the city. We live in River North, but you will love any neighborhood that you pick. We recommend staying in neighborhoods near the hotel: West Loop, River North, Downtown, Old Town. If you have questions on the location of one you like - just let us know - we're happy to help.
