A good place to park would be at 31st & Lake Shore drive. It is the parking lot that is used for McCormic place convention visitor parking. I do not know what the parking situation is during non trade show times. Take a look at the parking lot via Google Earth or your GPS system to give you an idea where it is. It is just South of McCormic South building. If you need a hotel the Hyatt is right there too. Call the Hyatt too they may be able to give you some advice.

You may also be be able to park just North of McCormic East building. Do a fly over with your GPS map. Call McCormic place or the Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Also Check out the City of Chicago website to see if they have any suggestions for parking.

Enjoy your visit.
