9 of us plan to take the South Shore Line to Millinium Station and walk to the ESPN Zone for lunch. Then we would like to go to the Shedd Aquarium but the South Shore doesn't stop at 11th street on the way back. How far is the Shedd Aquarium from the ESPN Zone and what is the best way for us to do this. We are traveling from the Carol Ave. station in Michigan City. Should we buy round trip tickets from Carol Ave. to Millinium Station and just get off at 11st station first to visit the Aqarium and then take a taxi (9 of us) to ESPN Zone and then get back on the South Shore to get back to Carol Ave. Station?|||If you really want to on the cheap, you can always just walk it. You could walk south on Wabash to Randolph, where you would turn left and walk through beautiful Millenium Park and Grant Park. In the process, you would really get to some of the most beautiful buildings and sites in Chicago. It is about a 2 mile hike, but the sites are so beautiful that it will seem much shorter.
This will probably not work if you are on a time crunch, but if you want to show them Chicago this is a great route to take.
By the way, Google estimates an 8 minute cab ride, 25 minutes of public transit, and a 43 minute walk|||Get off at the Museum Campus/11th Street Metra Station. You can walk to the Shedd from there. Then, when you leave the Shedd, catch the 146 bus. It passes right next to the aquarium, the only bus that does. The 146 goes down to State Street and then to Michigan ave. Get off at Ohio Street (it intersects Michigan Ave) and walk a block or two west. ESPN Zone is right there. Forget a cab. All of you can ride the bus to ESPN Zone for $2.25, less of you get a bus card beforehand.
