So, You Want to Escape the Windy City for Vintage Vehicles? How Far is Volo, IL From Chicago?
Let's face it, Chicago is a great city. But sometimes, you just need a break from the deep dish and the throngs of tourists doing the robot dance in Millennium Park (don't worry, we've all seen it).
Maybe you've heard whispers of a mystical place called Volo, Illinois, a land where chrome gleams brighter than Michael Jordan's smile and horsepower is a religion. Intrigued? You should be. Volo boasts the one and only Volo Auto Museum, a treasure trove of automotive history that'll have you saying "Rad!" faster than you can say "Chicago pile-up on the Eisenhower."
But before you gas up the DeLorean (because, hey, if you're going to Volo, you might as well go in style) the question on your mind is probably:
How far is Volo, IL from Chicago?
Well, buckle up, buttercup, because the answer depends on your definition of "far" and your preferred mode of transportation.
- In Distance We Trust: For the metrically challenged among us (myself very much included), Volo sits roughly 80 kilometers northwest of Chicago.
- For the Imperialists Out There: That translates to about 50 miles.
- Need it in Time, Not Triangles? By car, you can cruise to Volo in about 1 hour, depending on traffic (remember, Chicago rush hour is a beast).
Pro Tip: If you're like me and traffic cones are your arch nemesis, you can always take the train! Metra, Chicago's commuter rail system, will whisk you away to Volo in about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Just be prepared to tell your fellow passengers all about that sweet ride you're about to see at the Volo Auto Museum.
So, there you have it! Volo, IL isn't exactly a hop, skip, and a jump from Chicago, but it's definitely close enough for a fantastic day trip. Plus, the journey itself is a breeze compared to navigating the labyrinthine streets of downtown Chicago.
Now that you know the distance, the only question left is:
- Are you ready to immerse yourself in a world of vintage vehicles and automotive wonder?
If the answer is yes (and it should be!), then what are you waiting for? Start your engines, folks, because Volo awaits!
