Absolutly there is including DTW, CLE, and IND. I made every effort to take my instrument or commercial students into there at least once throughout their training. O'Hare just requires a reservation to be usually later than 8pm. Everytime I had been there it was around 10 and still pretty busy. The last thing I wanted was my students affraid of controlled airspace or "god on the other side of the radio.''
