Mike is correct (both Mikes actually), the Blue line is your best. Here is a
printable map of all the lines, CTA, RTA, METRA lines:
http://www.rtachicago.com/downloads/RTA_Train_Connections.pdf. I used to
take the Metra from the South side to Union Station everyday to work and it
was great. Take a minute to look around the station. It has lots of history
and is a neat old building. 

You won't be able to pick up the Blue line at Union Station. You will have
to walk into downtown to do that. If you have any questions, you can ask at
Union Station. They have (used to have) information kiosk to help tourist
get around. 

Have fun, downtown Chicago is so neat.

Arlene,  I used to live in Chicago years ago!  I used to take the train to
Chi-town all the time and traveled on the "EL" since I didn't have a car.  A
few blocks east of Union Station is the "EL" (elevated train) or the subway
whatever you want to call it!  To get to Ohare International you have to
take the "BLUE" line north!  I can't remember off hand the street it is
located off of, but it is underground in that area!  Download a CTA map and
look for the BLUE line!!!  Hope that helps you!

> In a few days the kids and I will be taking a train to Chicago, but then
need to get to the airport to catch the shuttle to our hotel so we can fly
out the next day. I have been looking at our options to get from Union
Station to O'Hare. I think the best option is CTA. Anybody have personal
experience with this? Input would be appreciated.
