Navy Pier

Jutting 3,000 feet into Lake Michigan, NAVY PIER is where Chicagoans and visitors alike

come together to experience the beauty and the excitement of Illinois’ top tourist attraction.

Completed in 1916 as Municipal Pier, the facility combined commercial shipping alongside a

public entertainment area. In 1927, the pier was renamed Navy Pier as a tribute to the Navy

soldiers who served in World War I. From 1942-1945, the pier was used to train Navy pilots.

In 1995, Navy Pier officially reopened as it is today, a 50-acre playground including, rides,

museums, shops, restaurants and almost a dozen sightseeing boats!

Take a ride on our 15-story tall Ferris wheel. Catch a movie at the IMAX Theater. Visit three

floors of hands-on fun at the Chicago Children’s Museum. Experience any one of the cruises

departing from Navy Pier’s South Dock. Enjoy the sounds of live music at the Bud Light Stage at

the Navy Pier Beer Garden or grab a bite to eat at Billy Goat Tavern or Harry Caray’s Tavern.

From beautiful landscapes to monumental architecture to iconic

sculpture, Millennium Park is truly a 21st century creation.

Chicago’s civic gem is a 24.5-acre oasis in the heart of down-

town. Don’t miss the Jun Kaneko art exhibition, which is com-

prised of his signature dangos, meaning “round form” or

“dumpling” in Japanese. The exhibit is located in the North

Boeing Gallery.

MUST-SEE ATTRACTIONS

BP Bridge: Take the long way across Columbus Drive to

Daley Bicentennial Plaza via Frank Gehry’s whimsically

serpentine steel creation.

Chase Promenade: A beautiful tree lined three-block-long

walkway that spans the length of the Park.

Cloud Gate: The brilliant stainless steel curves of what has

affectionately become known as “the Bean” mirrors both the skyline above and curious onlook-

ers below.

Crown Fountain: These towering waterfall bookends bear digital images of actual Chicagoans.

Jay Pritzker Pavilion: Architect Frank Gehry’s bold outdoor band shell, with its soaring steel rib-

bons and state-of-the-art canopied sound system over the lawn,is a breathtaking design.

Lurie Gardens: A 2.5–acre paradise for green-loving urbanites, this collection of flora brings to

life Chicago’s motto “Urbs in Horto” (City in a Garden).

Wrigley Square and Millennium Monument: The Square is anchored by the Millennium

Monument, a nearly full-sized replica of the original peristyle that stood in the same location

between 1917 and 1953.

A Fest for Ferraris!

Still undecided about what to do in Chicago? Here is one of our favorites:

Classic car show are certainly no rarity on the summer calendar. But the 16th annual Ferraris in

the Loop festival, staged by the venerable Italian Village Restaurants (71 W. Monroe,

312.332.7005) and held this year on September 8, nevertheless manages to stand out as

something truly special.

First and foremost, there are the cars— all Ferraris and up to 60 of them from a variety of eras—

that embody genuine Italian craftsmanship and allure. From 11am to 2pm, the stretch of

Monroe in front of the venerable three-story Italian Village restaurant will be lined with up to 60

award-winning automobiles from the Ferrari Club of America for admiring and ogling. Street

performers, magicians, face painters, balloon artists and live music will help stoke the festival

vibe throughout the afternoon, while patrons enjoy a buffet of fine Italian specialties, along

with beer and wine. Donations of $30 directly benefit the Lurie Children’s Memorial Hospital

and Inspiration Corporation. For more on the Italian Village Restaurants, see page 60.
