**Ravinia** is a station on [Metra](/source/Metra)'s [Union Pacific North Line](/source/Union_Pacific_North_Line). The station is located at 510 Roger Williams Avenue in [Highland Park, Illinois](/source/Highland_Park%2C_Illinois). In Metra's zone-based fare structure, Ravinia is located in zone 3. As of 2018, Ravinia is the 139th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 326 weekday boardings.[2] Ravinia is 21.5 miles (34.6 km) away from [Ogilvie Transportation Center](/source/Ogilvie_Transportation_Center) in downtown [Chicago](/source/Chicago), the inbound terminus of the line.[3] Trains continue as far north as [Kenosha, Wisconsin](/source/Kenosha%2C_Wisconsin).

As of September 20, 2025, Ravinia is served by 50 trains (26 inbound, 24 outbound) on weekdays, and by all 30 trains (15 in each direction) on weekends and holidays.

## Overview

The Ravinia station was opened in 1889 and includes a station house on the inbound platform which was designed by architect J.E. Blunt. Exterior work on the building, including the construction of a new roof and repainting, was completed in 2016.[1]

The station consists of two grade-level side platforms which serve the inbound and outbound tracks. Since the Union Pacific North Line operates on a left-hand main, the inbound platform is on the east side and the outbound is on the west. The station house is open from 5:00 A.M. to 1:00 A.M. There is no ticket agent at Ravinia, so tickets must be purchased on board the train. A parking lot is located on the east side of the station; on [Ravinia Festival](/source/Ravinia_Festival) concert dates, a bus is available between the lot and Ravinia Park. The [Green Bay Trail](/source/Green_Bay_Trail) runs parallel to the Union Pacific North Line at Ravinia and is accessible from the station.
