Things to Do
Wrigley Field is just under a mile and a half from us. If you feel like getting a walk in, it's totally doable. Or take the 77 Belmont bus heading east to Clark (great shopping area/restaurants), and walk north on Clark through Wrigleyville.

Both the Lincoln Park Conservatory and the Zoo are not far from the lakefront path and the beach. They are also free. It's about a 15-minute drive from our house though parking can sometimes be tricky. If you're patient and willing to walk, you can most always find free street parking on N Stockton Drive or N Cannon Drive. Though the 77 Belmont Bus to either the 22 Clark bus or 151 Sheridan bus is very convenient if you're doing public transportation.

Worth the view! We recommend getting drinks or appetizers and enjoy the view at sunset. The Magnificent Mile is a fun stretch to stroll before or after.

Millenium Park & Maggie Daley Park downtown is a fun place to go. It's right by a few of the other downtown attractions - e.g "the bean," the Art Institute of Chicago, etc. Architectural boat tours are also wonderful. They continue to spruce up the Chicago Riverwalk downtown.

Street Parking
Free street parking by our house is generally great. The one warning we would give is leave nothing visible in your car. That’s a general note for the city. Cars have been broken into if something looks enticing. Other than this our area is very safe, as is nearly all of the Northside of Chicago, especially during daytime hours.
The main roads are almost always meter parking. There is an app you can download that will speed up the payment process - "Park Chicago." Without the app you just have to walk to a pay box where you can insert credit car and license plate number.

Public Transportation
You can buy a CTA Ventra card for $5 at either Walgreens or Jewel, and then add value. Children under the age of 7 are free. We recommend getting a day pass if you want to explore the city by bus and train. For single use rides, you can simply use a credit card or cash.
You can catch the 77 Belmont Bus at the end of our block right under the tracks. It runs every 7 to 15 minutes. The Brown line Paulina stop is a 10 min walk from our house and is a fun ride to downtown as it's elevated above ground the whole way. Or the 77 Belmont bus to the Belmont Redline, which is mostly underground.
