CHICAGO'S LAKEFRONT NAVY PIER TOUR -

Located at the convergence of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, Navy Pier was originally opened in 1916 as a shipping and recreation facility. Today it has evolved into a premier family entertainment and shopping center. It also provides conference and trade show space, along with a restored Grand Ballroom from the original plan. All of these elements makes Chicago's Navy Pier the state's top leisure and tourism destination--drawing over eight million visitors annually. With a hundred-year anniversary coming soon, the landmark's new role as a family-friendly recreation and entertainment destination has a wide appeal to visitors and native Chicagoans alike. What's more, Navy Pier is surrounded by world-class parks and beaches.
