Navy Pier
WHERE: Right on Lake Michigan, close to Chicago’s downtown
WHEN: Two hours to half a day – Lots of attractions here
WHAT: Rides, Games, Shopping, and Dining.
It’s hard to say what you’ll love most at Navy Pier, because there are just so many things to choose from. You can just spend the hours outdoors and enjoy the carnival. Or venture inside the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows, Children’s Museum, or Amazing Chicago’s Funhouse Maze. The Pier has a huge IMAX theater for entertainment as well as the popular Cirque Shanghai acrobats. The shopping here offers you clothing, souvenirs, gifts, snacks and candy, as well as international imports. You can purchase a souvenir caricature, or tour the area through the Segway Experience (that platform-on-wheels vehicle with the tall handlebars since you stand up while you ride). Navy Pier is filled with new and exciting entertainment to make this the most thrilling Chicago tradition of all.
