Quick question. The following are all in Chicago IL.
How far is
Chinatown
Shedd Aquarium
and Mccormick plaza away from eachother...as in distance? Are they close enough to go to all three without much problem? And, btw, what time do they open and close stores in Chinatown? I'm planning to go this Saturday june 13.|||All three are on the south side of downtown and are not too far apart. You could walk from Shedd to McCormick Place. If you're energetic you could walk to Chinatown but it would be better, safer, and faster if you take the CTA Red Line to Cermak/Chinatown.
As for store hours in Chinatown I think most shops close up at 5 or 6 - the art gallery I recently visited closed at 6. The restaurants of course stay open later, maybe 10, or likely midnight on weekends.|||I wrote a reallllly long detailed answer and then I lost it, so I'm going to be a bit lazy in my retyping.
It's 1.3 miles from the plaza to the aquarium. You can walk which will take around 40 minutes or take the green line or a bus, which will take around 25-30 minutes.
Chinatown is around 2.5 miles away from the aquarium. You can walk or take the red line.
Walking:
Head west on E Solidarity Dr toward E McFetridge Dr
About 2 mins
Continue on S Museum Campus Dr
About 9 mins
Slight right at 18th Dr
About 3 mins
Turn right at S Moe Dr
go 187 ft
Sharp right at Footbridge
About 2 mins
Turn right at S Calumet Ave
go 112 ft
S Calumet Ave turns left and becomes E 18th St
About 8 mins
Turn left at S State St
About 2 mins
Slight right at S Archer Ave
About 6 mins
Turn left at S Wentworth Ave
You鈥檙e there!
On Saturdays Chinatown gets crowded and is many places take advantage of this and are open till 8-9pm.
The aquarium is having free days from the 14th-19th just to let you know. With ticket prices at $25 that's big savings that you could spend in Chinatown. Additionally, there are free concerts going on in Chinatown, the next one is on the 20th.|||They are all fairly close to each other. You can see McCormick place from the Shedd Aquarium. Chinatown is across busy streets directly west on 22nd st.(Cermak Rd). Below is a map. Notice there is no direct route due to off and on ramps on Lake Shore Drive:

Some Chinatown stores should be open on Sat until 8pm.
