TRAFFIC & PARKING ALERT
Free Spirit Cruises has no control over parking in Burnham Harbor.
When there’s a lot of activity around the Museum Campus and Soldier Field, parking can be limited at Burnham Harbor. In these instances, you’ll see additional Chicago Police and harbor personnel monitoring the area and parking lot. While personnel should know to allow you access to the harbor for a charter, you may need to tell them you’re going to Slip J for a chartered Free Spirit Cruise.
It’s also a good idea to check out what’s going on in the area on the date of your charter at Chicago Bears Schedule and Northerly Island. Special events generally mean more traffic, and you’ll want to be prepared. You may want to rent a bus or take public transportation rather than deal with parking.
