First timer here. It looks like the kids (11, 7 and 2 with a stroller) will enjoy seeing the Buckingham Fountain and the sculptures at Millenium Park. I have no idea how big Grant Park is. If we spend a morning at the Field Museum, can we just walk later through Grant Park to Millenium Park? Is there even a walkway to do that? Is it too much walk for kids? Should we take the CTA bus from the Field to Congress or Balbo to see the Buckingham Fountain and then walk from there to Millenium Park or take another bus to Madison or somewhere around there? Or should we skip one or the other?
Grant Park and/or Millenium Park
It%26#39;s an easy walk in that area. Here%26#39;s a map - www.transitchicago.com/maps/maps/2007D.html
Grant Park and/or Millenium Park
That%26#39;s exactly the map I was looking at! So, can we just walk north through Grant park with no problem like crossings, etc.? Looks easy but how long do you think this is or how much walking time could you estimate?
Here%26#39;s a good resource for walking distances - http://www.hopstop.com/?city=chicago
Great link. Thanks!
From the Field Museum, look for the walkway UNDER Lake Shore Drive. You shouldn%26#39;t have any problem walking to Buckingham Fountain from the Field Museum. You are smart to do the museum first and then the outdoor park.
Don%26#39;t miss the Millenium park. Kids will enjoy the water showers there. Be sure to pack towel and extra pair of clothing for kids.
