Stroll around Navy Pier
The Navy Pier was initially built in 1916 as a shipping facility and amusement area, but it is today one of Chicago's busiest tourist destinations. Today, the Navy Pier is a 50-acre complex with gardens, amusements, stores, dining options, performance halls, and parks. In Navy Pier Park, there is a 150-foot Ferris wheel and a vintage carousel.
The Chicago Shakespeare Theater, a one-acre, six-story indoor botanical garden, the 3D Imax Theater, and Crystal Gardens are more options for visitors to enjoy. The Chicago Children's Museum is also nearby. The Chicago Festival, which takes place in August, is one of several events held along the Pier throughout year. From here, cruise ships go on numerous tourist trips.
It typically takes 27 minutes to finish and is regarded as being simple. Excellent for both walking and hiking, this trail. Dogs are permitted, but they must be leashed. Since it first became a place for entertainment and a Great Lakes freight hub in 1916, Navy Pier has undergone several changes.
