Help with DAY Itinerary in Chicago

My friend and I are doing the 2-day Avon Walk in Chicago in June. We have one day to do the Architectural River Tour and a tour of Wrigley Field before we have to meet our team for dinner near O%26#39;Hare at 6:30pm. I would like to purchase tickets on-line soon.

We are staying at the Hyatt Regency Downtown. Logistically, is it better to do the river cruise first and then the stadium tour or vice versa? We would probably want to freshen up back at the room before dinner. And what time would you recommend leaving Downtown for O%26#39;Hare?

Thanks in advance!

Since you want to stop back at your room before dinner, it does not matter what order you do the tours in. The CAF River Cruise leaves from the area beneath the Michigan Avenue bridge near your hotel.

However, since you have a tight schedule, I%26#39;d suggest taking one of the first Wrigley tours; they start at 8:30 AM while the first River Cruise isn%26#39;t until 10.

You%26#39;ll need to allow an hour out to O%26#39;Hare. The closest Blue Line station is at Clark and Lake, a 10-15 minute walk from the Hyatt.

Thank you pgo for your suggestions. With the change in time (flying in from CA), I booked a Wrigley Tour (90 minutes) at 10:30 and planning to take one of the 60-90 minute boat tours at 2:30%26#39;ish. That still should give us enough time to walk around the Wrigley area and have lunch.

Since we%26#39;re doing the Avon Walk, I%26#39;m pretty certain we%26#39;ll be passing by places we would want to see and take photo ops.

Thanks again! I%26#39;m looking forward to the trip to Chicago!

Did the Avon Walk in Chicago two years ago, and you will definitely pass hundreds of photo-worthy spots along the way. Make sure you get back in plenty of time to register on Friday, and have a great Walk weekend!
