Things to do at Midway Airport. Many years ago on the weekend the CTA Midway line, now known as the Orange Line, opened (1993) we rode the train (for a quarter) out to the airport to check it out. We were aghast to find – nothing really. We ended up in a sad little bar that had a black and white TV with rabbit ears drinking flat Bud-on-tap. How things have changed at Midway!
While there are some free things to do at Midway, like at O’Hare vendors are allowed to set their prices at whatever they like so the cheap eat options are limited. There are some excellent dining options and a couple of things to do while you wait. website As of June 2, 2017 the website it hopelessly out-of-date and still showing vendors that are no longer at the airport.
