Need to know where you can start your holiday shopping? Where you can attend an artist reception? What about the Christkindlmarket in Chicago? The colder season is here, but there are still plenty of fun events that you can enjoy by taking the South Shore Line!
Whether you walk from the station, ride your bike, or take a cab or Uber, South Shore Line can get you to hundreds of events taking place throughout the month of July, and the best part: up to three kids can ride free with an accompanying adult.
Take a look at some of what we found for family fun along the South Shore Line and if we missed something, let us know with a comment or an email to share@ideasinmotionmedia.com and we'll add to this list!
