Chicago Style Tips

Chicago Style suggestions for an enjoyable stay

Getting to and from the meet:

If you are staying at our host hotels, the Marriott or Sheraton, there is free bus service from the hotels to Navy Pier.
You also may take the buses to the American Girl and Ghirardelli stores on Michigan Avenue.
Discounted shuttle service is available from both Airports.

GO Airport Express - A Shared Ride is a Green Ride!
Reservations: http://airportexpress.hudsonltd.net/res?USERIDENTRY=IGI&LOGON=GO

Things to keep in mind:

There are a limited number of elevators at the Hotels.
So while you may be able to get 40 gymnasts in an elevator, 40 adults size people may be a stretch,
plus the stop on every floor, on the way down, will take time.

Recommendation is plan on leaving the Hotel for the Pier
45 minutes earlier than your Gymnasts warm up time.

This allows for approximately 20 minutes to get to the Hotel Lobby,
approximately 15 minute bus ride to the Pier and
approximately 10 minutes to send your gymnast to their competition gym.

Event Parking:

$14 Monday - Thursday before 5 p.m.
$18 Friday - Sunday before 5 p.m.
$10 After 5 p.m. seven days a week

Restaurant Sponsors:

American Girl Place offers group discounts for parties of 20 or more.
