Planning Your Cubs Trip
How do I get to Wrigley Field?
The easiest way is the CTA Red Line — get off at the Addison stop and you're right there. If you're driving, street parking is limited on game days, so consider a nearby parking garage or rideshare.
When is the best time to visit Wrigleyville?
The Cubs season runs from late March through September (and hopefully into October). Summer day games are the quintessential Wrigley experience — there's nothing like afternoon baseball with the sun hitting the ivy. But even in the offseason, Gallagher Way hosts holiday markets and events.
Are there things to do on non-game days?
Absolutely. Wrigleyville's restaurants, bars, and shops are open year-round. You can also take a stadium tour of Wrigley Field, explore Lincoln Park, visit the lakefront, or catch a show at one of the nearby theaters.
What should I eat at Wrigley Field?
Don't skip the classic Chicago-style hot dog. Inside the park, you'll also find Italian beef sandwiches, Giordano's deep-dish pizza slices, and local craft beer options. Outside, the neighborhood has dozens of restaurants within walking distance.
Is Wrigleyville family-friendly?
Very much so, especially during day games. Gallagher Way has a family-friendly atmosphere with open green space, and the bleacher sections are full of energy. The neighborhood also has ice cream shops and kid-friendly restaurants nearby.
