As we walk along the Union Pacific viaduct, you’ll learn the history of this 50-year-old project and watch it evolve from a community-based mural program to an international attraction featuring artists from all over the world. You’ll deepen your understanding of the elements of street art by exploring the eclectic work of hundreds of artists and volunteers.

Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age for this street art tour? Can kids join?

A: Yes! This tour is family-friendly, so kids are more than welcome to join. There's no strict age limit, but I'd recommend it for ages 10 and up since they might enjoy the art and history more. Just keep in mind that some of the street art can be a bit edgy, so parental discretion is advised.

Q: What should I wear for the graffiti tour? Is it all outside?

A: Definitely dress comfortably! The tour is mostly outside, so wear something suitable for walking, and consider the weather. If it’s chilly, a light jacket is a good idea. Sneakers are a must since you'll be on your feet a lot. Also, don't forget your camera – you'll want to snap pics of the amazing murals!

Q: Can you reschedule if something comes up? How does that work?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just reach out to the tour provider at least 48 hours in advance. They’re pretty flexible and understand that life happens. Just make sure you do it in that time frame to avoid losing your spot. It’s a great experience, so you’ll want to make sure you can go!

Just did the Offbeat Graffiti Tour in Chicago – so cool!

I recently went on the Offbeat Fulton Market Graffiti and Murals Tour, and wow, it did NOT disappoint! The guide was super knowledgeable and shared some fascinating stories about the artists and the history of street art in Chicago. We explored the Union Pacific viaduct, and I've never seen so many vibrant murals in one place. I went with a couple of friends, and we took a ton of pictures! Totally worth it, and I think it’d make a great gift for anyone who loves art or the city vibe.

Looking for gift ideas – is the graffiti tour a good choice?

I’m thinking about getting this street art tour for my art-loving friend. She’s super into urban art and photography. Has anyone done this? Are the guides good? What’s the vibe like?
