Store Your Luggage in Chicago

As the third-most populous city in the United States, Chicago is the urban jewel of the Midwest. Renowned for world-class architecture, countless parks, and Midwestern charm, the Windy City is loved by visitors and locals alike (even throughout what seems to be an endless winter year after year). Some people consider Chicago to be a cleaner, more hospitable version of New York City, which perhaps contributed to it being the second-most visited city in the US in 2018. At any rate, Chicago is definitely worth exploring, and Bounce's luggage storage locations are here to watch over your things while you do.

Safety 

Chicago, Illinois, is one of America’s largest Midwestern States. It’s also one of the US’ most popular tourist locales for several reasons; Chicago is the home of several legendary sports teams, and the city is also lauded for its fine dining experiences. As of 2020, Chicago has a population size of nearly 3 million people. Unfortunately, such a large population means that Chicago experiences more crime than other American cities. Fortunately, you can keep yourself and your loved ones safe by staying informed.

Research shows that Windy City ranks 7th in the National Crime Index. A ranking of 1 refers to the most dangerous cities, and 100 refers to the safest. Chicago purportedly experiences around 115, 279 crimes annually. These statistics are further split into two categories - violent crimes and property crimes. The National Crime Index suggests that 1 in every 99 civilians may experience violent crime, and 1 in every 31 civilians may have their property damaged or stolen. Chicago’s violent Crime rate is likely much lower than property Crime due to the efforts of Chicago’s Law Enforcement agencies. Ultimately, the Chicago Police Department and your safe practices will protect you from violent crime. However, Bounce can protect your possessions while you visit Chicago and will insure your belongings up to $10,000 while they're stored in a Bounce location for added peace of mind. Wherever you are in Chicago, with Bounce you'll be able to find luggage storage near you.

Downtown Chicago, also known as the Loop, has no shortage of things to see and do. We recommend taking part in at least a few of the following experiences in Downtown Chicago:

  • Indulge in Chicago’s famous deep-dish pizza at Lou Malnati’s, Pequod’s, or Giordano’s
  • Catch a concert at the Chicago Theatre or a stage production at the Goodman Theatre, Oriental Theatre, or Cadillac Palace Theatre
  • Head to Daley Plaza to see an outdoor Picasso sculpture and check out the rotating schedule of cultural and foodie events
  • Enjoy major events at Grant Park, including the Taste of Chicago food festival in July and Lollapalooza music festival in August
  • Drink and dine with unbeatable views at the Willis Tower’s Signature Room at the 95th
  • Embark on a day-long tour of Museum Campus by visiting Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, and the Field Museum
  • Uncover the best of Chicago’s historic building designs at the Chicago Architecture Foundation and Chicago Cultural Center

And, while you're out there enjoying everything that The Loop has to offer, don't forget that using Dowtown Chicago luggage storage services can make it easier to enjoy everything that the Windy City has to offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

"How can I get to Chicago?"

  • Besides driving to Chicago, you can also fly into Chicago O'Hare Airport or take the train, which arrives at Chicago Union Station. If you arrive before your accommodation check-in, why not store your luggage in a nearby Bounce location and start exploring everything that Chicago has to offer.

“What’s the best way to get around Chicago?”

  • Traveling through Chicago can be easy, safe, and fun if you properly plan for it. The city is vast, but it’s also dense. Depending on where you’re going, walking is one of the best ways to travel around Chicago. For long-distance trips, you’ll want to either rent a car or ride the bus.

“Is public transportation in Chicago safe?”

  • Absolutely. Chicago’s Police Department has a strong presence in the city. CPD officers do an excellent job of maintaining the peace and responding to criminal activity.

  • Numerous crime databases rank Evergreen Village as one of the city's safest areas. To be specific, blocks between S Western Ave and W 99th St report few crimes annually. There are plenty of excellent accommodation options across Chicago, too. The Hilton Chicago is a beautiful hotel that overlooks Lake Michigan and Grant Park. The hotel officially opened in 1927 as the Steven's Hotel, and has since become a Chicago landmark and has the most significant event and meeting space in any hotel in the city. The hotel was renamed the Hilton Chicago in 1984 and is still an elite hotel, offering fantastic amenities and personalized experiences.

  • The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry embodies many of Windy City’s core values. Tickets can be purchased online for a discounted price, and there are several pricing plans for visitors.

“What's the best time of year to visit Chicago?”

Visit during the spring or summer, and you’ll find lots of crowds, festivals, and concerts. The city's warmest months are between May and September, but remember to still bring a jacket in case it rains!
