shedd aquarium: ok im staying at red roof inn on ontario st i need to know whether its better to walk,drive,take a cab or bus or train to these destinations from my hotel Shedd Aquarium/FIeld Museum/Adler Planterium( i know this are within walking distance from one another) Lincoln Park Zoo John Hancock Bldg Navy Pier Millenium Park/DownTown/Fountain area|||#146 bus - Museums (south) #151 bus - Zoo (north) this is your furthest destination about 3 miles to Webster #151 bus - Hancock - this is only a few blocks (north) #66 bus from Chicago Avenue (east) - Navy Pier #151 (south) - Millenium - this is also walkable, about a mile but very interesting all along the way. Ask the bus driver where they turn west and ask to get out before then.|||Ontario is quite a ways north of the downtown attractions you have listed. The closest place to your hotel that you have listed is the Hancock Bldg. You could walk north on Michigan Ave. to get there. But Navy Pier is about 1 mile. and the Museum Campus and Millenium Park are way too far to walk to. So you could buy a CTA train pass and zip around on the elevated train pretty easily. Your hotel or the train stop will have a map of the different lines. The train map has the museums and parks shown so that tourists know which line to take/which stop to make. Cabs would run you about $2 per mile. Or you can walk to Mich. Ave. and take the 151 bus or any southbound bus to get to the downtown /Grant Park area. Don't forget to check out Wrigleyville. That' s the real Chicago. Have fun!!
