Explore the South Shore this May with the South Shore Line!
- By: South Shore Line
- Last Updated: April 19, 2017
Where in the country can you find a better late spring/early summer than along the South Shore of Lake Michigan? This May we have a challenge for you: try something you’ve never done before! Go see a concert in Chicago, an art show in Michigan City, visit Downtown South Bend, and let the South Shore Line take you there!
Whether you walk from the station, ride your bike, or take a cab or Uber, South Shore Line can get you to hundreds of events taking place throughout the month of May, and the best part: up to three kids can ride free with an accompanying adult!
Take a look at some of what we found for family fun along the South Shore Line and if we missed something, let us know with a comment or an email to share@ideasinmotionmedia.com and we’ll add to this list!
