How far is Texas from Chicago driving?
We’re taking the kids to the South By Southwest Festival in Austin and driving from Chicago—how far is Texas from Chicago driving?
Jason Tushinski · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Well, we here at Jerry know a pair of cool parents when we see them, and taking the kids to SXSW just about takes the cake. This trip will cover 1,162 miles, with a driving time of 16 hours and 33 minutes along I-55 S and I-44 W.
Be sure to split this trip up into a few days, as there are lots to see on your drive south. Some of the highlights along this route include:
- Paying a visit to rock’n’roll legend Chuck Berry’s house in St. Louis, MO
- Take a quick side trip to Tulsa, OK for its incredible, historic Arts District, not to mention the Aquarium
- Stretching your legs with a brisk walk through the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Dallas, TX
- Scarf down some breakfast sandwiches, fried chicken, and donut holes (healthy, we know) at Bird Bird Biscuits in Austin, TX
Once you hit Austin, enjoy the festival and all things cool in this Texas city!
