Navy Pier, Chicago

Very dissapointed. Not sure what I expected, but this turned out to be a giant shopping mall; not my idea of a good time. Views were nice, Mirror maze was fun, and the swings were cool - just expected way more rides and fun activities for the family. I have heard the Children's museum is great; wish we could have tried it out - it's probably worth the trip alone for younger kids.

Had a really nice time here, but it is not the same NAVY PIER I grow up with... All the fun shops that made the experience at Navy Pier worthwhile are gone and replaced with bars and repetitive restaurants. I couldn't even find the STAINED GLASS MUSEUM?? Where did it go??... Anyways, I talked this place up to the teenagers and it was all gone... But they still had fun...

Underwhelming. We had a short visit and I wish we didn't use our time going here during our trip. It was a bit dirty and boring. I got crazy sticker shock when I saw prices for rides. $35 to ride a Farris wheel? No thank you. Most of the shops there were typical mall shops or sold t-shirts with Navy Pier on them. It was a let down. I wish we would have used our time somewhere else. Definitely not visiting again.

Been here a few times. One time during spring there were hundreds of kids there on field trips so it was packed. Another time I went it was not as crowded but it usually is busy if the weather is nice so be prepared. I would suggest a visit. It was fun!

A must-go-to when visiting Chicago! You will recognize Navy Pier from different movie scenes, for example from "Divergent". The walk around the pier is not just really nice, but also offers a great view and many different options to eat. A visit of the Tropical House can also be higly recommended.
