Show Venue

The Chicago Botanic Garden, a 385-acre living plant museum, will serve as the stunning backdrop for the dahlia show. It is situated in Glencoe, about 20 miles north of downtown Chicago and less than 2 miles from Lake Michigan. Discover what CBG offers in this video and on their website.

Transportation

It will be possible to attend the National Show without renting a vehicle.

Uber or taxis from O'Hare Airport are about $80 each way while Midway Airport will cost approximately $120 each way (depending on day and time).

There will be scheduled transport between the Renaissance Hotel and Chicago Botanic Garden (CBG) on Thursday thru Sunday at times that make sense for the Show. Attendees can call for pick up or return to the Renaissance Hotel in addition to scheduled times. The actual transport schedule will be firmed up a month before the show.

Tours will include bus transport.

Attendees can visit other Chicago sites by renting cars, calling outside transport, or utilizing public transportation such as CTA subway trains (known as the "L") or Metra suburban trains.
