Explore Chicago with LO on a Spring Break Bus Adventure!
Join us for an unforgettable journey to Chicago, IL, as we embark on another exciting LO Bus Adventure! This carefully curated trip is the perfect opportunity to explore one of the most vibrant cities in the country while enjoying great company, incredible sights, and plenty of memorable moments.
For three days, we’ll immerse ourselves in some of Chicago’s must-see attractions:

Step inside the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium, home to world-class exhibits that bring history and marine life to life.
Cruise the city with an architectural boat tour, taking in breathtaking views along the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.
Wander the halls of the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the most renowned museums in the world.
Visit the home and studio of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright and gain insight into his groundbreaking designs.

For a little extra thrill, we’ll take in the sights from the top of the Willis (Sears) Tower and spend an evening at Navy Pier, where you can enjoy dining, shopping, and an optional ride on the 200-foot Centennial Ferris Wheel.
This trip also includes a unique opportunity to visit the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s home offices for a private meeting with Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, followed by worship and lunch. And for fans of great storytelling and humor, we’ll cap off our adventure by attending a live taping of NPR’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” at the historic Studebaker Theatre!
Throughout our time together, we’ll enjoy the food, music, and energy that make Chicago such a special place, all while sharing this experience with a fantastic group of fellow travelers.
