Just overall, a bad experience. they came anyway, and boy,m were they dissappointed.

Parking is near impossible for less than $10 downtown. You may be able to find parking meters within a mile of the grant park location, but they cost $2 per hour or more now too. The millennium garages are what they recommend and there is a coupon for a $5 discount at this site here: Taste of Chicago | Chicago Weekend Fun!
