O’Hare International Airport Transfers

• Evanston is a lakeside college town 15 miles east, or a 40-minute O’Hare Airport transfer. Check out the leafy campus of Northwestern University, incorporating art galleries and amazing architecture. Visit Lighthouse Beach and the nineteenth-century Grosse Point Lighthouse.
• Milwaukee is 80 miles or 1 hour 15 minutes north from O’Hare. Petrolheads will love the Harley-Davidson Museum, while the whole family will enjoy the local zoo and Discovery World. This city is a diverse, culturally thriving modern metropolis.
• Madison is located eight miles south or a 20-minute O’Hare Airport transfer. See the Wisconsin State Capitol and Olbrich Botanica Gardens, plus Lakes Mendota and Monona, while the Wisconsin Historical Museum documents the state’s immigrant and farming history.
• North Utica is 90-odd miles or some 90 minutes south-west by road from the airport. There’s an interesting museum here, but the real draw is the stunning natural surroundings. Nearby state parks offer sandstone rock formations, waterfalls, lush forests and picnic spots galore.
• Naperville is within 30 miles south-west and a 40-minute Chicago Airport transfer and it’s a charming small town. Check out the 160-ft Moser Tower (with no fewer than 72 bells) plus the Naperville Riverwalk, where you can swim, boat or hike. Alternatively, go skating at Centennial Park.
• Long Grove is 23 miles north, or a 30-minute run from O’Hare. With its covered bridge, cobbled walkways and attractive clapboard houses, this place has an old-time feel. If you’re there for the annual Strawberry Fest, and its compulsory pie-eating, so much the better!

1. Millennium Park lies less than seven miles south, or a 15-minute Chicago Airport transfer. In the downtown by the shores of Lake Michigan, it’s home to peaceful gardens, fountains, free events, public art, green space plus activities from rock climbing to ice skating.
2. Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio is roughly 10 miles south – be there within 30 minutes from the airport – at suburban Oak Park. See where the architect lived and worked on his Prairie Style buildings. Take a guided tour before exploring the area to see more of his designs.

5. Apple River Canyon is well worth the two-hour, 130-mile O’Hare Airport transfer north-west. Covering nearly 300 acres, its rolling hills and winding rivers offer the chance to reconnect with nature. There are five main hiking trails here, plus trout and bass for keen anglers.
6. Pirates’ Cove Theme Park, a 20-minute drive west, is just over 13 miles away. Think boating, slides and stacks of other fun, family-friendly activities from art and craft to rock climbing. Just remember to say Arrr!
