Navy Pier is one of the most popular tourist and leisure destination in Illinois. Located just east of downtown, the Pier is 50 acres of pure fun...parks, shops, restaurants, attractions, sightseeing & dining cruise boats, exhibition facilites and other amenities. Navy Pier offers year-round entertainment for visitors of all ages. During the summer, don't miss the FREE fireworks over Lake Michigan which occur on Wednesday (9:00pm) and Saturday (10:00pm) from Memorial Day through Labor Day. It's FREE to stroll the pier, and a definite "must do" while in Chicago.
