Reunions

Chicago’s central location in the Midwest makes it one of the top military and family reunion destinations in the country! Chicago North Suburbs offers a convenient location, interstate access and comfortable choices of accommodations. Easily accessible to Interstate Highways, our area is 10 minutes north of O’Hare International Airport and just 30 minutes south of Great Lakes Naval Training Station.

The Chicago area offers so many attractions for your reunion group! Have one of our excellent Tour companies put together a custom tour of Chicago including a visit to the Museum of Science and Industry for a tour aboard the newly restored U-505 submarine, the only German sub in the US and a National Historic Landmark. Feel the Pride all over again when you attend a graduation at the Naval Training Station. Share memories with your group at lunch at the Port O’Call on the naval base and overlooking Lake Michigan. Chicago North Suburbs offers a variety of shopping, dining and attractions. Explore the Chicago Botanic Garden, Long Grove Historic Village and dine along our famous “Restaurant Row”.
