millenium park/frank loyd wright house questions

we are coming up june 1 to see the braves v cubs and after the game i have decided to go eat pizza at giordanos on n rush and then get dessert in the signature room.

afterwards i thought we could stroll down n michigan (mag mile?) to millenium park.

they have a gospel show there.

i like gospel fine butr will it dominate the place or will we be able to do other things?

is it too far to walk from the sig room to the park?

also the frank loyd wright (sp?) house interest me.

i%26#39;m a carpenter but i%26#39;ll have my wife and son in tow, plus the inlaws.

is it interesting enough for them to like it?

we are staying by o%26#39;hare so on our other day i thought about riding out to check it out.

any thoughts?

thanks.

I think the Gospel Fest might dominate the area. It%26#39;s quite popular. Go for it. It%26#39;s a little over a mile from the Signature Room to MP.

The Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit is in Oak Park. It borders Chicago to the west. If you%26#39;re going there from your hotel and pressed for time, you might want to consider a cab. The other option is to take the blue line train downtown and switch to a green line train to Oak park. There isn%26#39;t a train that runs direct from the O%26#39;hare area to Oak Park. Visit transitchicago.com for details. Metra also runs trains from downtown to Oak Park. Visit metrarail.com for details.

Usually, the big music festivals are in Grant Park (south of Monroe Street), not Millennium Park. Yet information I%26#39;ve seen online for the Gospel Festival does say Millennium Park.

The Pritzker Pavillion (music shell %26amp; lawn) is pretty large, so you should still be able to enjoy the Crown Fountain, Cloud Gate (';the Bean';), etc.

The Frank Lloyd Wright house (Home %26amp; Studio) and surrounding historic district are a popular attraction that appeal to a wide audience. Guided tours of the house, and of the neighborhood, are only an hour each and should hold your family%26#39;s interest, unless your son is very little.

Will you have a car? A drive from O%26#39;Hare to Oak Park isn%26#39;t bad. As was pointed out, though, it%26#39;s kind of a haul on public transit. Rather than going thru downtown, you could take the Blue Line only as far as Harlem Avenue (a couple stops east of O%26#39;Hare) and then transfer to a #90 Harlem Avenue bus. If you have farecards for the Blue Line the transfer to the bus is just 25 cents -- and of course free if you have a visitors pass. The FLW Home %26amp; Studio is a few blocks east of Harlem, on Chicago Avenue.

Be sure to check on the hours that the FLW Home and Studio is open at www.wrightplus.org
