Chicago Navy Pier is one of the city’s foremost attractions. The Windy City’s premier lakefront establishment is a playground for all ages of visitors. Enjoy a phenomenal 50 acres of parks, gardens, shops, restaurants, events, and first-class attractions; the pier is fun for the entire family.

 

Whether you’re high above the city on the pier’s signature Ferris wheel, zipping around the 1920s carousel, soaring on the high-flying swing ride, or climbing up a state-of-the-art climbing wall, the pier is the perfect amusement park for thrill-seeking visitors. Children will jump at the chance to experience the excellent Chicago Children’s Museum, the IMAX Theater, and the Time Escape.

 

If you think Chicago’s Navy Pier is just for kids, think again! The Chicago Shakespeare Theater proves to be fun for adults and kids alike. From plays of the Bard to playing at the pier, the whole family is sure to enjoy this fun-filled part of a Chicago vacation. While you’re at the pier, don’t miss the chance to see some fantastic and awe-inspiring stained glass windows at the Smith Museum of Stained Glass. The legendary Louis Comfort Tiffany created and designed most of the exhibit’s collection of extraordinary stained glass, making the collection historical as well as beautiful.
