It took us a long, long time to get to Chicago’s Lincoln Park, where Pokémon Go Fest 2018 is happening. Part of that is because it’s a long park, with entrances at both the northern and southern ends. The other part of that is because we got very lost.

But walking to Pokémon Go Fest is nearly as fulfilling as being within the confines of the event itself. Instead of cramming everyone into a congested, self-contained parkground this year, Niantic went the opposite direction with the event. The theme this year is “A Walk in the Park,” yet it really should be “A Walk through Chicago;” there’s almost as many worthwhile finds right outside of Lincoln Park as within it.
