Is that a good idea? or should we...
Take a train in? Get around by bus? The hop-on hop off trolley? Walk?

The city is very walkable for the most part and you can get unlimited CTA (L train & busses) passes for less than the cost of parking.
That said, depending on when you arrive/leave, you can actually find reasonable day rates in the loop on the weekend, particularly on the west side of the loop that's mostly businesses. Check here: http://chicago.bestparking.com/. You could also take the metra (commuter rail) in from Elmhurst. It's fast & reliable. http://metrarail.com/metra/en/home/m....ELMHURST.html
If you want to leave downtown at all and check out the neighborhoods, the CTA is the way to go. Otherwise parking can be a best, especially on the north-side.
