What to expect
Planning a visit to Hunter Pavilion at Ravinia
Choose Hunter Pavilion for a main-stage Ravinia concert, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's summer residency. Confirm whether the ticket is for a reserved Pavilion seat or lawn admission, along with the program, run time, accessibility arrangements, and ticket terms, then review current park gates, free Metra travel, parking, weather, dining, permitted items, and entry guidance before leaving.
