Navy Pier

Navy Pier is iconic. Its trademark ferris wheel and family boardwalk have been around almost a hundred years, and have more history attached to them than most cities in America. It's the largest tourist destination in the midwest, hosting more than 8 million visitors every year, and has a breathtaking view of both the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. But more important than all of this is that Navy Pier is chock-full of enough fun and attractions to keep mom, dad, grandma, the kids, and everyone in-between satisfied for days.
