Gorgeous place! We didn't realize how big it is, and how many shops there are! We came for the "Light up the Lake Event". It was awesome! Indoor so no worries about weather. The pier is free, but would definitely buy tickets in advance for the lights. We rode the ferris wheel and it was so much fun! The view is gorgeous!
I love Navy Pier especially on a beautiful day! They decorate it very nice and the inside keeps evolving and changing. There are plenty of food options for all budgets from fast food to sit down. The Children's museum is their secret weapon and one of the best highlights! We did the boat tour that leaves from Navy Pier which is wheelchair accessible. I'll review that separately.
Super awesome place to visit. Nice attractions for the kids. Good vibe and view of downtown. Felt safe in the area and the staff was constantly cleaning. Sadly the children's museum wasn't open when we visited (a little late in the day) but it looked awesome from the outside. Nice shops inside with a great selection of food and things to do as a family.
Ferris wheel was very fun. There were other carnival ride options as well. Great food options too!. Great options for boat tours. We had kids and did a quick 40 min boat tour. Overall, navy pier seems to amaze me everything I go. Been going since I was a kid and was able to share this with my kids for the first time.
A must place to visit…. Free sightseeing place to roam around and explore… Hours are different in google… They are open till 10PM ( We were told by an employee working there) We had city pass to redeem at Centennial wheel. Which saved us sometime… Centennial wheel was amazing… very nice for people to look around the surroundings and beautiful Lake Michigan Navy pier is a huge area.. more than 5 mile if we just walk around… Lot of food options, restrooms available, scenic views, a place to view fireworks for free when scheduled, Gift shops available, different rides for adults and kids are available…. and many more things to do… Ship docker/anchors with lot of party boats are seen…
