Traveling to Naperville

Naperville sits about 30 miles southwest of Chicago. Fly into O'Hare (ORD) — Metra's BNSF line runs directly to Naperville station in about 45 minutes with no transfers. Midway (MDW) is also an option via rideshare. Downtown Naperville has several hotels within easy reach of most event venues. January in the midwest means cold — plan accordingly.
