Chicago is the Perfect Entertainment Destination for Those in Northwest Indiana Looking for a Weekend Getaway
Downtown Chicago is located just over 40 miles northwest of Crown Point, Indiana and is easily accessible by both car and train — just jump on I-94 or take the family on a train ride via the South Shore Line. Whether you are looking to spend the day indoors or outdoors, there are a number of things one can find to keep them entertained on any given day. Travelers looking for something educational can take their pick from Chicago’s long list of fantastic museums, including the Field Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Science and Industry.

Navy Pier, one of the city’s most popular destinations, is home to the Chicago Children’s Museum, where playing and learning connect. Children are free to create, discover, play, and explore the many indoor exhibits and activities provided. Some of their most popular exhibits include Kids Town, Skyline, Pritzker Playspace for babies and pre-schoolers, and WaterWays, where an interactive system of pulleys, pumps, and pipes showcases the wonders of water.

For those looking to spend the day soaking up the sun, Chicago’s Oak Street Beach offers the chance to play a few games of volleyball or to splash around in the waters of Lake Michigan. Oak Street Beach has the largest area of deep water swimming in the city, and it is a training ground for hundreds of triathletes and distance swimmers.

No trip to Chicago would be complete without catching a ballgame. Visit Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. It is one of America’s smallest, oldest, and best-loved ballparks. Get there early for batting practice, early-bird food specials, and drinks. Afterwards, one can take their pick from the many venues surrounding the stadium for post-game twenty-one-and-over entertainment when Clark, Addison, Waveland, and Sheffield come alive. Public transportation to and from the park is easily accessible.
