Navy Pier - Lake Michigan

Navy Pier is one of Chicago's most popular attractions, a 3,300-foot-long pier on the shores of Lake Michigan in the city's downtown. It has plenty of entertainment and leisure activities - including boat cruises, people-watching, and an amusement park - as well as a number of shops, museums, restaurants, and more. Visitors can enjoy the pier's array of lights, sculptures, and views of the skyline at night. Take a bike ride or stroll along the lakefront trail which passes by the pier and offers beautiful views of the Chicago skyline as you go. It’s also a good spot for food, with options for all tastes. Make sure to check out the ‘Beer Garden’ for some tasty drinks too! The Crystal Gardens are also not to be missed - an indoor botanical sanctuary which offers 7,000 plants, trees and seasonal flowers.
