If you're trying to save money, you can do it by public transportation - four different options:

- CTA train to Clark/Lake downtown, transfer to Purple Line train to 4th/Linden;
- CTA train to Harlem, Pace 423 Bus to Wilmette 4th/Linden train station this bus meanders through Glenview and Winnetka before swinging down to Wilmette
- CTA train to Harlem, Pace 423 Bus to Golf/Harlem, Pace 208 bus to Old Orchard
- Monorail to Kiss-N-Fly lot (remote parking lot E), Pace 250 bus to Davis Street CTA, train from there

If you time it right, the train/423/208 option only takes an hour, but you have the pleasure of standing at the corner of Golf and Harlem for 10 minutes. The other options take 90-110 minutes.
