#NowApproaching Kenosha: Metra’s farthest north destination is the city of Kenosha, a little more than an hour and a half ride on the Union Pacific North Line from downtown Chicago. As Metra’s only destination outside of Illinois, Kenosha is a bit of an outlier, an out-of-state change of scenery that is still accessible with a Metra Monthly Ticket or $10 Weekend Pass.
The Kenosha Metra Station puts riders within a half-mile walk of the business district, or about a mile walk to the lake. But, it’s highly recommended to hop onto the Kenosha Transit Electric Streetcar, a lasting remnant of the PCC style of electric streetcars. The fleet of seven streetcars in service date back to the 1950’s, providing a trip back in time while getting you around town. The route brings riders right outside of several art galleries, restaurants, bars and museums.
Before hopping on the streetcar, stop by the Dinosaur Discovery Museum. The museum is only a five-minute walk from the station and explores the connection between prehistoric dinosaurs and their avian relatives. In fact, the greater Kenosha County holds a place in paleontological history books after the discovery of the world’s two largest and most complete mammoths in 1964. So, if you’re a dino-buff, Kenosha is the place to be.
Still in the mood to learn? The streetcar will pick you up just north and shuttle you east to the lakefront where you can visit the @KenoshaPublicMuseum (where one fossil and one replica of the mammoths are displayed) and the Civil War Museum. Just beyond these adjacent buildings is the Harbor Walk footpath, which hugs the scenic lakeshore.
If you’re getting hungry by the time you hit the Kenosha Harbor, stop into Common Grounds, a laid-back coffee shop offering pastries and sandwiches and a chance to kick up your legs for a while.
From there it’s up to you whether you walk back to the Metra station or hop on the streetcar for one last ride. But if we had our two-cents, we emphatically say you should ride the rails.

My gal pal. Always picking the silliest spots for naps. In this case, right in the middle of the trail.
