Quote: Crowded with people, this place is the boardwalk of the Midwest. With a gigantic Ferris wheel, cotton candy, and kitschy souvenir shops, it's a tourist and local favorite. We enjoyed the Ferris wheel. With its slow-paced rotation, we had plenty of... Read the full Navy Pier review

Quote: The Navy Pier, at one time, was not this exciting. It changed the face of downtown Chicago for the better. It’s quite a complex, in every sense of the word, and just as much as it can be a great family outing locale, it’s also a very romantic spot... Read the full Navy Pier review
