Navy Pier is one of Chicago’s most prominent attractions, welcoming nearly 9 million visitors each year. The lakefront treasure offers year-round attractions including the skyline Centennial Wheel, architecture and lake tours, and unique shopping and culinary experiences that represent the very best of Chicago.

Offering exhilarating natural wonders, Illuminarium is Navy Pier’s newest attraction and delivers a sensory experience by fully immersing visitors in the world’s most extraordinary experiences. 360-degree video, 4K laser projection, heart-pounding surround sound, and in-floor haptics place audiences on a sunset safari or a walk on the moon, all without wearable hardware of any kind.
Other summer highlights include a new 9-hole Pier Park Mini-Golf course, the thrilling Wave Swinger, spectacular Fireworks displays every Wednesday and Saturday evening, and Flyover Chicago, an exhilarating flying journey that takes audiences soaring 13,000 feet above the skyline.
