Things to do - Pier Park
Navy Pier Ferris Wheel - presented by McDonald's®
 Take a 7-minute ride on Navy Pier's most visible attraction, the 150 foot-high Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel is open year-round* and is great fun for kids of all ages! Modeled after the very first Ferris wheel, which was built for Chicago's 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, the Navy Pier Ferris wheel provides unparalleled views of the Chicago skyline and lakefront. The Pier's Ferris wheel has 40 gondolas, each seating up to 6 passengers. In the evening, the Ferris wheel's 40 spokes, spanning a diameter of 140 feet, are illuminated by thousands of sparkling lights.
* Weather permitting and subject to closure for maintenance. |
Musical Carousel
Located near the Ferris wheel in Navy Pier Park, the musical carousel was designed exclusively for Navy Pier. It's a whimsical work-of-art that recreates the Pier's golden age of the 1920s when a similar attraction delighted another generation of visitors. The carousel's 36 hand-painted animals represent the different styles found throughout the history of carousels. Horses, chariots and a playful frog are just a few of the featured characters waiting to carry children of all ages. The hand-painted rounding boards at the top of the 44-foot carousel depict scenes of Navy Pier's history. |
Wave Swinger - an Old Fashion Swing
 Guests have the opportunity to swing around Pier Park on the thrill ride 'Wave Swinger'. The ride towers nearly forty feet over a pond of water. This exhilarating forty-eight seat swing ride lifts visitors fourteen feet in the air, and whisks them around for a thrill that shows guests a view of the lakeside never before seen. |
18 Hole Miniature Golf Course
