Driving Directions

The Merchandise Mart is bordered by Wells and Orleans Streets on the east and west, and Kinzie Street and the Chicago River on the north and south. From I-90/94, exit east at Ohio Street. Turn south on Wells Street and drive four blocks to The Mart. (The Chicago River is on The Mart’s south side). If you are driving, you’ll find parking lots and spaces within blocks of The Mart — many for just $6 to $23 per day.
