Review:
One of the most important civic landmarks in America and top-visited leisure destinations in the Midwest, Navy Pier is a historical icon with an array of things to see and do for the whole family.
Ferris Wheel
Located on a beautifully-landscaped outdoor area on the upper deck of Navy Pier, the iconic Ferris Wheel is one of the main attractions at the Navy Pier Park. Nestled between Crystal Gardens and Pepsi Skyline Stage, the 150-foot high wheel offers spectacular views of Lake Michigan and the shimmering Chicago skyline.
The Crystal Gardens
The Crystal Gardens is a beautiful indoor botanical garden that offers breathtaking vistas of Navy Pier Ferris Wheel against a backdrop of the lakefront and city skyline. Home to lush foliage and palm trees, leapfrog fountains, and twinkling lights, the gardens are housed in a six-story glass atrium located just steps from the main entrance of Navy Pier.
Navy Pier IMAX Theatre
Dive into coral reefs with a myriad of fish and sharks, soar through the stars above the Earth, or battle invaders of the Imperial Forces in Star Wars VII at the mind-blowing Navy Pier IMAX Theatre. Boasting a six-story screen with exquisite digital surround sound and unparalleled acoustics, this is one adventure the children will never forget.
