Chicago to Gurnee PT?

I'm going to Chicago this May for my 20th and a marathon event for my older sister, and my entire family is going.

As it stands I will not be participating in the marathon and other family-related events, but will be going north to Six Flags Great America so I can be at Six Flags Great America.

HOWEVER. I will not have means of personal transportation from Chicago to the park, and I was wondering if any home-parkers are familiar with Public Transportation options that would work for me?

I found the Pace bus that goes from Schaumburg to Gurnee but getting to Schaumburg is not something I can figure out. I've been Googling left and right and thought putting up a 'help' thread couldn't hurt.

Thanks for any comments or any direction.

Check MetraRail.com, it doesn't go to gurnee directly, but you could probably figure out a stop that goes to a bus...

As Johhy said you can take the metra from downtown to libertyville. I can pick you up and take you back. Let me know the details and we can make plans.
