Clark St - which is down the block from the main entrance on Irving and Clark. Bus stops on the CTA #22 Clark line are nearby the West Gate Entrance. Rideshares (Uber, Lyft, etc) typically will drop off at the main entrance but the west gate is an easy walk from there.To reach the West Gate Entrance from the Main Entrance, follow the path along the brick wall heading away from the visitor center until you come to the gate.Please contact the tour operator with any questions you may have.The West Gate is located between Irving Ave and Montrose Ave and there is public parking on the residential streets surrounding the cemetery, though it is permit parking only after 5pm and on days when Cubs games are scheduled. There is extremely limited parking in the cemetery's parking lot. I would advise utilizing the CTA public transit or ride shares when possible.Tours will run, rain or shine, unless it is unsafe to be outside (such as severe lightning storms). In the event of a cancellation, refunds will be issued and the tour rescheduled.Renovations are complete on the main entrance on Clark and Irving and the visitor center so visiting bathroom facilities before tour time is advised. There are bathrooms on site inside the visitor center at the main gate. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/graceland-cemetery-symbolism-and-architecture-tour/100001987655689674 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 22.5, max: 22.5, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: 4264 N Clark St - **lat**: 41.95927599999999 - **long**: -87.6653941 - **full address**: 4264 N Clark St, 4264 North Clark Street, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Graceland Cemetery Symbolism & Architecture Tour - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/f8e4cc25e2ebf0b9887950c8ae13d6e938d84c9a4ed620c30994add2977a2c29-rimg-w1200-h800-dc8d8c92-gmir.jpg?v=1776655357 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Graceland Cemetery Symbolism & Architecture Tour being held? - **A:** Graceland Cemetery Symbolism & Architecture Tour takes place on Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sat, 02 May, 2026 at 03:30 pm at 4264 N Clark St, 4264 North Clark Street, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Graceland Cemetery Symbolism & Architecture Tour? - **A:** Tickets for Graceland Cemetery Symbolism & Architecture Tour are priced at USD 23 per person.
