Navy Pier Inc. Review

Good place to take photos a good food and good service nice place for tourist

One of my favorite places to go in the city during summer! Their weekly fireworks shows are amazing!

The pier has changed quite a bit since we were there a few years ago. Great places to eat, all beautiful and clean, and many options for food! Great walk with a beautiful view!

We braved the freezing elements to trek down to Navy Pier. Well worth the trek, plenty to see and do, numerous shops and food outlets. Lovely tropical garden area in the conservatory to walk round and take shelter from the freezing elements. Great place to visit.

We are here for some business and wanted to add some pleasure but with covid19 the Navy pier experience wasn't the best. No ferris wheel and not a lot of shops are open. Still there are plenty of things to see and do outdoors in The Windy City. I would plan on seeing the outdoor amenitiesl. Sculptures, Architecture, outdoor dining, water stuff( sightseeing boats, swimmimg in lake michigan, etc etc etc.)

Loved it...brought family visiting from Colorado, Texas and Louisiana. Sat outside on the end of the pier and had lunch and a drink.

So many things to do at navy pier and the views are beautiful.

I ve been here numerous times. It s nothing special. But it is fun when you are with friends. The intricacies of its facilities are undoubtedly the foundation for which we strived for as Chicagoans. I can t recommend going to a better place to get closer to the lake. Also, it makes for killer selfies lol

Awesome setting and not crowded... Good for couples time!

View of Chicago skyline was good. There were fireworks too.

We stopped at the Navy Pier during our bus tour. When we ordered our bus tickets they had a discount offer for the Ferris wheel tickets. I'm glad we took the bus there because the traffic was crazy. We really enjoyed the Ferris wheel. We had great views of the lake and city and overall a good time. The best part was a little 5 year old boy with his mother who were in our car. His running commentary of the ride was hilarious and cute. Great time and great people.

Visited the Pier on a weekday. As a result... The place was not very crowded and the rides... Easy to get into. A very nice view and best place you stay any cruise.. The river or the architectural cruise. A must see for every first visit to the city of Chicago.

Just the view it's so amazing plus the ferris wheel view is just wowzers! Fun place to rest at and play some mini games

It us a wonderful place to spend evenings, in chicago

Our Hotel over looked Navy Pier...There is a mini mall on the pier, restaurants, an amazing Ferris Wheel with great views of downtown Chicago...it is a MUST see if you come to the area!!

Navy Pier is always so much fun! So many great things to do!

Great Place to have fun in Chicago ! In let to lake Michigan

Beautiful place, loved the fireworks and the environment; I will definitely return.

Some things just get better with age, or in this case, SIGNIFICANT thoughtful and modern renovations! Navy pier has been totally revitalized and now has a sense of class along with amazing food and recreational options. I also love how dog friendly it is. Keep up the good work!

Nice tourist trap, with good views of Lake Michigan! The wheel gives you the best view of all, just mind your head and DUCK when getting in the car. They tell you about the gap, so I was looking down and whacked my nose and I'm 5'9". Tall people watch yourself!

The funhouse was a lot of fun. It made me jump more than once and it actually required effort and thought to get through it. Cool experience unlike any others I've had before.

Always a nice crowd. Beautiful, especially at night

It is my favorite place in Chicago. This is magnificent view on skyline and lake. I love it so much.

Interesting place restaurants gift shops a couple of rides and nice undercover Palm garden especially nice on a sunny evening or day had play place for kids

I went to AMC Theatres here, the indoor space was beautiful, great shops, restaurant choices and family friendly.

So much to do here! We went for pizza, and then realized there was a lobster-fest going on at the end of the pier. For Labor Day, they had fireworks which were a real treat. A great place to walk around, and relax.

It's a tourist trap. It looks cool, lots of development but just not our jam. Definitely worth checking out but don't get your hopes up unless you like to spend a lot of money for a ferris wheel ride. Good place to find a lake tour of the city though.

Amazing view to the city and ocean, lots of option to eat but given its size should invest in better information signs and kiosks. The walking distance between the buildings are huge and one will spend a lot of time to find what she was wants.

Wonderful place to visit. Scenic views of the city. The frozen margarita from Margaritaville was wonderful as well!

Lots of stuff going on and lots of beautiful stained glass

Wonderful and beautiful place to spend an evening with your loved ones or your friends. This place is always crowded in the summer evenings, so try to be here on time if you want to take rides because the ticket lines are huge. The Chicago skyline is just amazing from the top of the Ferris wheel. The cafeteria and restrooms are just on the first floor under the rides. They have boat rides at Navi Pier starting from $10 and dinner/cocktail cruises as well.

An experience to talk about. Great Americana history. Easy to get to and lots to do there. Boat tours are affordable and educational.

Amazing tourist attraction really good place to go with your friends and family really fun rides for all ages

If you would like to grab a beer and chill Navy Pier it is.

Super crowded but still enjoyable. Great view of Lake Michigan. Lots of restaurants and bars and there is also a mall inside.

Wish they had public transportation more conveniently connected to this place. It's always challenging to visit them without a car.
They have greenhouse with lots of trees and water fountains and it's nice with kids. Food courts are nice too.

Great to go back after the reopening. People followed social distancing and environment was friendly for kids. Restaurants indoor were open but not all.

Beautiful place, restaurants an aquarium and great boat tours

Lots to do with kids. Great food court. The architecture cruise is a must do!!!!

Super tourist trap. All the shops are inside and there were no signs to tell us so we wandered outside forever. The views of Lake Michigan are beautiful and the candy shop inside has delicious gummy bears and pina colada gummy slices. Also the magnet kiosk is very reasonable with a great selection.

So many great things to choose from with activists for all ages. Great shopping and many delicious food selections. So much to see so allow plenty of time to take in the sights.

Lot of construction going on inside the main building, but the walk down to the end of the pier was nice. Lucky the sun was shining, as Windy City lives up to its name here.

Amazing architecture boat tour! Fun tourist stuff with good food and drinks everywhere.

They have a tall ship, Windy, which you can help sail for <$40!. Plus food and amusements for all.

Navy Pier s remodeled look is so wonderful. Had the best time with the family. Enjoyed the most beautiful sunset this summer .

Interesting with lots of things to do. Well worth a visit.

We spent a rainy morning at Navy Pier while in Chicago. It was perfect since there was so much to do indoors! Lots of shops, restaurants/bars, and activities. We enjoyed the tropical garden with the cool water features! Make sure you take the time to walk through it! There were lots of options for dining, including some fast food options in a food court to nice restaurants. We chose Harry Caray's Tavern, which we greatly enjoyed! After lunch, the rain had cleared and we enjoyed walking around outside to take in the view! We did not do the ferris wheel, though it looked like it would provide great views of the city. I was just too cheap to spend $18 per person on it!

It's so beautiful at night, just wish the ferris wheel would've been in operation so we could go on it. Still, had no idea there would be boat tours you could take or all the places to eat and drink.

Awesome place.. one must take architectur tour ....From navvy pier

Three stars under covid conditions, as most of it is closed currently. However parking is cheaper as a result.

Great tourist spot! Plenty of fun even for locals. The staff at some of the shops inside are a little rude though.

A great place to walk and enjoy the weather. Full of restaurants and entertainment options, there s no shortage of things to do.

I haven't visited Navy Pier in a couple of years for me it was only a touristy place. however when I took family from out of town to see Navy Pier I realize that they changed a lot and renovated the place from within.
It is full of shops, restaurants, small takeaway food and bars.
not a bad place to spend your evening if you just want to relax and have a couple of drinks.

it is a tourist trap. good if you want a lake tour or want to go on a few rides. during the summer they do have some good bands towards the end 3the pier.

Great place for tourism, been in chicago for more than 4 years..but got to know chicago after visiting this place..

It s quite cool to see everything here but as every single place is, It s really EXPENSIVE, it was fun though.

It is the place to go on a beautiful sunny day. Shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment abound!

Amazing place, you could spend all day there. Shopping options, great food variety, and entertainment.

Navy Pier is one of the best spot which covers lots of activities to do when you're visiting Chicago.

Had the best day ever with all ages of my children and grandchild age's 1-19 we really had a blast, and they also had a great time in the big splash pad outside to cool down cause it was really hot... #anothergreatday!!!

not much going on when we went last Tuesday afternoon other than the stores. Fun-house was fun, though.

Took some visitors from out of the country and they loved it. Parking, food and beverages are a bit pricey but so is most of Chicago.

Even with covid19, it was refreshing to get out, enjoy the smell of the water, see other people who were masked and social distancing.

It's very nice. Parking is $18 an hour. The pier does close at 8pm, so when I got there wasn't anything really to do besides walk around the lake

Big draw on the waterfront. Be ready for lots of people. Good variety of food choices.

Sooo much fun....we went on the merry go round. And the swing ride. Ate some cheesecake and chocolate cupcake from brown sugar bakery. DELICIOUS! Fun for the whole family. Also saw the air and water show.

Haven't been here in 30+ years. Absolutely love the place! You HAVE to go on the ferris wheel!

Crowded with people, it was a bad idea and I left pretty quickly

You get a good view of the skyline from the Ferris wheel !!

There are so many different dinner options there, definitely great for tourists.

Fantastic opportunity to brink the kids show them fun and history in one place. Many shops and many food places to choose from.

Beautiful historical shoreline with many exciting ways to view it

Lots of nice shops and restaurants. Great views of the city. Would love to come back in summer sometime.

A fun place to walk around enjoy the view. The children's museum was a lot of fun.

I like this place because they have a theater, Unique McDonald's, A Banquet, Farris wheel and rides

Every time we go to Chicago, this place is always a go to! We love the water and the pier itself. We got to ride the Ferris wheel and also went on a speed boat tour! I only have great experiences and great memories made here. So fun and nostalgic when you haven t been in awhile. Will come here every time I visit!

Not the best I have visited. The ride on the giant circle was just okay but expensive. It's better to go to skydeck of 360 Chicago if you are interested in the views. The circle makes two rounds and lacks any significant thrill. The surrounding area is only sparsely populated with attractions. However you can easily if you plan to walk along the beach.
