Rent a Bus To Visit Waukegan Neighborhoods
The Waukegan Historic Preservation Commission designates historic districts within the city as protected cultural zones, recognizing the city’s roots as an indigenous Potawatomi settlement, later incorporated in 1849, and finally reestablished as a city in 1859. It’s an interesting mix of local history and architecture sure to inspire history buffs and tour groups with your mini bus or charter bus rental.
Near North Side
Just a short drive north of downtown along the Metra UP-N Line and the Robert McClory Bike Path, your group will find the Near North Side of Waukegan, full of local amenities such as the city’s Public Library. Explore a serene tree-lined oasis and enjoy a private reading experience at the Library’s Outdoor Reading Garden, or plan to walk or jog along the shores of Lake Michigan from the Waukegan Beach North Unit to Waukegan Municipal Beach, which is also known for the annual Waukegan Scoop ice cream shop. And with your private mini bus at the ready, your day exploring Near North is tailored to your specific needs.
Downtown
Downtown is where you’ll discover the heart and cultural soul of Waukegan. The District is home to famous sites like Genesee Street and Genesee Theatre and historic locales such as the Carnegie Museum Building that used to function as Waukegan’s library in 1903. Other downtown sights to plan on visiting as your explore by private charter include historic churches, such as Christ Episcopal Church (built in 1858, rebuilt in 1888 after a massive fire gutted the city in 1875), Holy Family Parish and its adjoining Immaculata Church, and St. Dismas Catholic Church. After a quick cultural overview, explore the numerous art centers, galleries, theatres, studios, performance centers, halls, and other venues, both historic and modern. Then head on over to one of Downtown Waukegan’s 30+ eateries.
Midtown
Head west down Grand Avenue, and your group will arrive in the diverse mix of restaurants and cultures of Waukegan’s midtown.

While some neighborhoods of Waukegan like South Waukegan, Southwest and Southeast Waukegan and East Waukegan and Northwest Waukegan offer ample parking options along the wide avenues, there aren’t so many areas for your group to park while visiting Midtown. If you’re traveling with a small group, your best bet is a mini bus, which can easily navigate midtown’s many one-way, small, and traffic-filled residential roads. Your driver can pick your group up or drop everyone off right next to your restaurant or eatery of choice, all while keeping track of which routes aren’t available for full-sized vehicles. We can even accommodate groups on the go with 24-hour service to meet your special occasion needs!
