Planning a night out on the town, a social outing, or a unique private event in the Chicago area? The unique neighborhoods of the Windy City’s outskirts offer some of the region’s best bar and food experiences you won’t find anywhere else. And since many popular neighborhoods aren’t easy to reach by public transportation, book a Charter Bus Des Plaines charter bus rental and let your group explore the following neighborhoods with a driver behind the wheel:

Wrigleyville
As its name implies, this neighborhood is where you’ll find Wrigley Field, the historic home stadium of MLB’s Chicago Cubs. Wrigleyville is the perfect pre- or post-game destination for baseball fans, with a plethora of lively sports bars and casual eateries like Smoke Daddy, Dimo’s Pizza, and Smoke BBQ and Bar. You’ll also find independent boutiques, tattoo shops and even live music venues along Clark, Addison, and Sheffield Streets. On game day, Wrigleyville is often packed, and while some street parking can be found in the surrounding areas like Lakeview, your best bet for parking is a private garage. The driver will take care of finding a parking space for your vehicle.

Lincoln Park
Explore this area of town with its namesake park that borders the shores of Lake Michigan in Uptown Chicago. Lincoln Park is one of the largest parks in the United States, spanning 1,200 acres, and with so much to see and do along the park, we recommend spending an entire day here. Your group can tour the educational Chicago History Museum, visit the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum to enjoy interactive nature exhibits and a tropical butterfly haven, or view the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, where the stunning greenery is even more beautiful in autumn.

Wicker Park and Bucktown
With so much to do in this historic neighborhood, you can easily spend all day strolling the vibrant streets, stopping at record stores, comic book shops, independent art galleries, trendy boutiques and clothing stores, and much more. You’ll find most of the action along North, Milwaukee and Damen Avenues, a trendy collection of buildings with street-level shops, bars, and cafes. This area is known for having some of the city’s best pizza and bagels, so consider organizing a brunch pizza and bagels pub crawl or lunch gathering with your group! If you need a break from walking and want to visit other locations like nearby Humboldt Park, Wicker Memorial Park, or even just your hotel, Charter Bus Des Plaines offers private minibuses and shuttles that can get you to wherever you need to go. Just hop on, relax and enjoy the ride around Northwest Side Chicago.

Logan Square
This charming residential neighborhood is home to the iconic Illinois Centennial Monument, a stately structure adorned with sculptures of Abraham Lincoln and four historical female figures representing the fields of labor, the arts and sciences, and agriculture, set within a scenic roundabout filled with gardens and a fountain. This area is also known for the Chicago River’s east fork that runs alongside the western edge of the district, and is an inviting location for a picnic, boating, or just relaxing on the grass in warmer weather. The westernmost edge of the 606 walking trail is also located just a block north of the square itself, making it easy for your group to walk the path on the way to neighboring Humboldt Park or Wicker Park. But when it comes time to head out, why not have your bus meet your group near the entrance to the square on Kedzie Boulevard to take your passengers to and from each of Chicago’s most picturesque neighborhoods? Just call our team today, and we’ll help you organize the transportation.
