fun in every color at navy pier
Head over to Navy Pier and explore a true Chicago landmark. For more than 100 years, locals and visitors have been coming here for an authentic Windy City experience. Literally, windy. After all, it's hard to stretch 1.5 miles out into Lake Michigan without feeling a gust or two. Chill out in 50 acres of parks and gardens. Check out the expansive views of the Chicago skyline and waterfront by foot, bike, skate, or boat! Have you heard of the Centennial Wheel? It rises about 200 feet into the air and offers some of the most boffo views of the 312 you can get. Instagrammable? check! (Sidebar: they even host speed-dating events on the wheel from time to time . . . yeah, because as if speed dating isn't scary enough, now you're being lifted 200 feet in the air to meet a stranger!). Grab some grub from the Classic Food Court and seasonal outdoor kiosks, or wine and dine in local favorites like Riva Crab House. Catch an Imax flick or a bit of the Bard at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. Oh yeah, they've got great live tunes at the Pier too! Especially in the summer - Live bands galore - WORD! Get your shop on at the funky boutiques. Then kick back with awesome fireworks all summer long. This is serious fun.Details
