Question About Chicago

[Madi100]

We are planning a trip to Chicago next weekend. I know that starting on Memorial Day that the free trolleys run all the time. But, I thought they started earlier for just the weekends. Do they have the free trolleys on the weekends?

I don't think they do, but I would call the number in the following.

Know *OF* them - not anything more.

We dont need to know - we prefer to take train or pay $689 / hr to park!

Free Trolley

Thanks. That is what I was looking for. It does run from Navy Pier to State Street, which I think is fairly close to American Girl Place. If not, we'll walk.

Thanks!!
