Flying In

Two airports serve the venue

Chicago is served by O’Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW). Midway is closer to Willowbrook and usually quicker on rideshare, but ORD has many more international and direct flights.

ORD

Chicago O’Hare International

~30 mi From venue
40 – 60 min Drive time

Best option for international arrivals and direct flights from most US cities. Plan extra time during morning and evening rush. Drive south on I-294, then west on I-55 to Route 83 (Kingery Hwy).

Ground transport
Uber $45 – 65 Lyft $45 – 65 Taxi ~$70 · flat
MDW

Chicago Midway International

5700 S Cicero Ave, Chicago, IL 60638

~15 mi From venue

Rideshare fares are approximate — actual prices vary with time of day and demand. Allow extra time during Chicago rush (7 – 9 AM, 4 – 7 PM).

Driving In

By car

From I-55

Most arrivals

Take I-55 to Exit 274 (Kingery Hwy / Route 83 / La Grange Rd), head south on Route 83. The masjid is on the west side of Kingery Hwy, approximately one mile south of I-55.

Parking

On-site lot

On-site parking is available at the masjid. During high-attendance majaalis, please follow volunteer directions for overflow parking. Plan to arrive 15–20 minutes early to find a spot during peak times.

A few tips for arrival day

Best time to arrive

Mehmaans flying in are encouraged to arrive a day before the start of Ashara. Plan flights to land before 7 PM Central if possible — check-in at hotels and host families is easier in daylight.

Rideshare pickup

Both airports have clearly marked rideshare pickup areas. At ORD, use the multi-modal facility (MMF). At MDW, follow signs to the upper-level rideshare pickup curb.

Travelling as a group

For families and groups of four or more, an UberXL / Lyft XL is usually more economical than two cars. Coordinate with travel-mates landing on similar flights.
