Navy Pier, Part Of The Heart Of Chicago

 

If you have ever been to Chicago, especially in the summer, odds are good you visited or at least drove by and saw the historic Navy Pier.  Navy Pier has over eight million visitors per year. This Chicago staple has a rich 79-year history and this lakefront landmark continues to be a work in progress. New attractions are added every year which offers visitors plenty of reasons to mark Navy Pier events on their calendars for many return engagements.

No matter if you are there for an event, catching some rays on a nice day, or are there to watch the sun rise or set, Chicago's Navy Pier is a must see for anyone visiting Chicago.
