Chicago Bachelor Party

Planning your Bachelor Party in Chicago

Set on the shores of stunning Lake Michigan, Chicago is a city that has a little something for everyone. From countless dining and nightlife options to a vibrant theater and arts scene, Chicago offers an endless supply of both daytime and nighttime activities, making it a perfect, central destination in the U.S. to plan a bachelor party that is as fulfilling as it is fun.


Getting In and Around Chicago

How to get there

Getting into and out of Chicago is easy, thanks to its multiple airport and train station options. Guests can fly into either O'Hare International Airport () or Midway International Airport (). Once at the airport, you can get into the heart of the city by taking a shuttle or hopping on the Orange or Blue "L" train lines, which will take you from the airport to downtown. For more, refer to our guide to getting around Chicago.

How to get around Chicago

Once you've arrived, there's so much to do in Chicago that you'll want to be able to get around to all of it easily. Luckily, there's convenient public transportation throughout thanks to the "L" trains. You can also hail a taxi, who will be able to take you where you want to go.

Chicago has lovely weather most of the year, but thanks to its northern location and proximity to the lake, it can get extremely cold during the winter. Opt to travel in Spring and Summer if possible - you'll get to take advantage of the Chicago sunshine without having to zip up your down parka.
