Navy Pier, Chicago

Such a great place to visit. Parking is good nearby unless you have a large vehicle like a camper or full size van, mid size cars only. All parking in the area is garage parking for the most part so any tall vehicles won't make it. Great Place to visit in warm weather, you can get an alcoholic beverage and walk the pier, maybe see a performance on the outdoor stage. Very clean and safe location. Easy access to surrounding areas and a water taxi that will take you to the aquarium and museum

It's a nice little pier with kids rides. It's best to get the unlimited day pass for the rides. Not the best rides for the little one but if you have older kids like 6 or 7 then it's good. They can enjoy all the rides. My kids are two and four and they were only allowed on the lighthouse, Ferris wheel, and the carousel. Also if you want to go to the Ferris wheel for the view I would say go in the day time. I went day and night time but didn't enjoy the night view at all. There isn't much light or anything around to see at night. In the day time you get to see everything in the water and have the view of the city.
