“Bus driver took or drop us off at Alder Planetrium. We walked to the door and the planetarium was closed ( 12 noon) not open on that day. But the bus driver had already left and the next one was for another 30 mins. We ended up taking a public transportation to go back to our Stop #1 because we still have to drive to ORD for our afternoon flight. Terrible experience!”
