South Shore Line train and the Adler Planetarium

in Grand Rapids Nesties

I don't remember who it was (maybe Chymes or lzalewski?) who in the past recommended using the Chesterton station for the South Shore Line train, but thanks!  We've previously used the Michigan City station but Chesteron was much better.  More convenient to the highway, tons of parking, and nice station.  

Also, as a follow-up to my Adler Planetarium post, it ended up being pretty interesting.  Certainly not the best museum in Chicago, but a nice way to spend a few hours.  I liked the historical components which described how people studied astronomy through the ages.  My husband liked the planetarium shows.

    We have also used the Dune Park station. It has a huge lot and is at a state park, so it's pretty. They also have information boards about the dunes inside the station, which are fun to look at while waiting for the train.

    Glad you had a good trip!  We were in Chicago as well but we drove - now that our friends/relatives live in locations with fairly easy parking and we often bring the dogs we just find it easier.  I only used the Carroll Ave. which worked fine, but I'll keep in mind the other locations if we chose to go by train again!

    Weirdly enough, we were also in Chicago over the weekend. We arrived home from Europe on Saturday evening and spent the night. We left early Sunday morning, though.

    That was probably me...it's the only station I've ever used and we like it. I'm really glad it worked out well for you!

    Thanks for telling us about the Adler, too. We've never been and were curious.
