Ideas for Local other things to do

  • and much more.
  • Chicago is an hour drive, although I suggest if you want to visit Chicago, that you park at the Aurora transportation Center and take the Metra BNSF Line train to union station and use cabs to get to your destination downtown. If you choose to drive, be aware that parking at most locations is usually $20 for anything over an hour up to a day. Metra weekend passes are $8 when purchased at the train station.
