Location

Navy Pier, Chicago, IL

Located on Lake Michigan, just East of Chicago's Downtown, Navy Pier has been a Chicago landmark since it first opened in 1916. Originally designed as both a shipping and recreational facility, the Pier also served as a military training site during two world wars, a venue for concerts and exhibitions, and the temporary home for a once-fledgling University of Illinois Chicago campus.

Navy Pier now showcases a unique collection of restaurants and shops in addition to unequaled recreational and exhibition facilities -- in a setting like no other.
