i am going to be takeing a train trip from NYC to Denver and i am going to be having a 3hr and 30 min lay over in Chicago and i need some info on the city how long of a walk or train ride is it from Union station to Grant park sorry if i may have spelld it worng.
Walking from Union Station to Grant Park should not take more than 20 minutes. Go straight east. You can also catch a boat shuttle on the river just east of Union Station that takes you up to the Michigan Avenue bridge. Not straight to Grant Park but more scenic. From there you can walk south to Millenium Park and then Grant Park and walk west back to the train station. Very doable in a little over an hour round trip without stops.
The boat shuttle can you bring bags on it as i am going to have bags with me. knowing my slef i will do the boat as i love to take photos. thanks for the info.
