Go A Little Overboard at Navy Pier®


It all happens at historic Navy Pier®, the Chicago lakefront landmark thats the Midwests #1 tourist and leisure destination, attracting nearly 8.5 million visitors each year.

At night, Navy Pier® is a great place for couples. Dock Street, which runs the length of the Pier's South Dock, is a great place to stroll by moonlight, enjoying free entertainment ranging from jugglers, mimes and stilt walkers to comedians, singers and musicians.

Or, take a walk through the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows. This permanent display of 150 stained glass windows showcases windows designed by prominent local, national and European studios, most of which were originally installed in Chicago area residential, commercial and religious buildings.

Chicago's romantic dinner cruise ships continue to operate from Dock Street. And, on select summer evenings, fireworks entertain the Pier's evening visitors.

After taking in a blockbuster film on the giant screen at Navy Piers IMAX Theater or a world-class performance at the Tony Award-winning Chicago Shakespeare Theater, enjoy fine dining or an after-show cocktail at Riva, Navy Piers seafood and steakhouse.

Whether its day or night, summer or winter, theres always so much to see and do at Navy Pier®. Come visit us! (less info)
