shedd aquarium: The hotel is right by the Sears Tower, and I am going one day to the Science/technology museum, and the next day to the Field museum/Shedd aquarium. I will not have a car, so I need to know if there is a subway close by, a cab, or is it a short walk?|||You can also take the Metra Electric trains that have stations just a few blocks from the Tower that can take you to the Museum campus and also to a station just one block from the Museum of Science and Industry. that is what I do, in fact last summer I took that train to the Museum campus, then the next weekend I took it to the Museum of Science and Industry|||Walk 8 blocks across downtown to Van Buren station, ride to 55-56-57 for Museum of Science and Industry. http://metrarail.com/content/m… Report Abuse |||The bus route 130-Museum Campus (WEEKENDS) 'or X28 (MON-FRI) will work for "Field museum/Shedd aquarium", but the "Museum of Science and Industry" is in a different place, and you'll need another bus, X28 (MON-FRI), or bus 6 (WEEKENDS). The Green and Red Train lines go to the Museum of Science and Industry area, but those trains are not near the Sears/Willis Tower. These two bus routes will offer a trip with no transfers. The fare is $2.25. It is about a 20 min ride on the bus 130 to Field/Shed (42 min walking); and to Science and Industry, a 25 min ride on X28 (express) (180 min walking). The way to the Field/Shedd is somewhat walkable, compared to the bus, but not to the Science and Industry. You see the best bus will be different on different days of the week. See for yourself. Use the Trip Planner and maps in the links. You should not need to do any transfers, maybe a walk a few blocks. The Sears Tower was officially renamed the Willis Tower.|||Either cab or bus. There is a Bus route called "museum campus" that'll take you all around. I think fare is like $1.50
