The commuter train system ( METRA ) will be your boyfriend's way to get into Chicago. Great Lakes is on the Metra/Union Pacific North line . Probably has hourly runs, though on Saturday they are less frequent, and even less on Sunday. For schedule www.metrarail.com Once in downtown Chicago you can get free trolley car rides to various areas of the immediate Loop, Navy Pier, Museum Campus area.....Field Museum, Adler Planatarium, and Shedd Aquarium all of which are just north of Soldier Field and near north area as well as to Navy Pier. They run from the downtown Metra station ( Ogilvie Transportation Center ) where all the Metra commuter lines come to. Taxis are easy to get, just hail them down. Depending on the distance you go will determine your cost, it is about $15 for a taxi from the Metra station to Navy Pier. There is also the CTA, which consists of bus routes and the Elevated train system ( the El ) of various lines that can take you all around. Web www.transitchicago.com or can call 1.888.968.7282 Good luck, have fun in Chicago, you see alot of sailors on liberty from Great Lakes in Chicago.
