Navy Pier

There’s more to Navy Pier, Chicago’s iconic lakefront destination, than meets the eye! Known as the “People’s Pier,” this landmark showcases more than 50 acres of parks, restaurants, attractions, retail shops, sightseeing and dining cruise boats, exposition facilities and more. After the 100th anniversary in 2016 with the unveiling of the iconic Centennial Wheel, Polk Bros Park, Fifth Third Bank Family Pavilion and Peoples Energy Welcome Pavilion, the Pier continues to usher in its second century with new and exciting redevelopments.

Navy Pier is now home to the brand-new Offshore, the world’s largest rooftop venue confirmed by Guinness World Records in 2019. Offering panoramic, unparalleled views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline, this stunning, 36,000-square foot venue provides unique year-round indoor and outdoor access.

In 2020, the Pier unveiled the Sable, a seven-story, 220-room Hilton Curio Collection hotel, offering some of the most spectacular views of the city, lake and Pier for a distinctive travel experience.

As always, Navy Pier’s programming continues to provide free, one-of-a-kind arts and culture experiences designed to inspire, educate and connect guests from across the city and globe.
