We had a good time at the pier. We had decent priced beers at Billy Goat bar. Not as exciting as it’s made out to be but worth a trip. We went to have a beer at the beer garden but it wasn’t open. Which was a better thing in the end as they were really expensive if the beer garden had been open

Navy Pier in Chicago is a blast! It's like the ultimate playground for all ages. From the giant Ferris wheel with killer lake views to the funhouse maze that'll leave you laughing and lost, there's no shortage of entertainment. And the food scene? Don't even get me started – deep-dish pizza, cotton candy, and everything in between. Plus, they've got awesome events year-round, so there's always something going on. Navy Pier is basically the heart and soul of Chicago's waterfront, and you'd be crazy not to check it out when you're in the Windy City!

On a fair day, a stroll along Navy Pier can while away some time in a pleasant fashion. A number of places to stop, have a drink and some food and look over the Lake. We walked up the right hand side of the pier and I would advise walking back down that side too. The left hand side walkway is almost all service road for the restaurants etc on the pier and there is only a pathway wide enough for 2, for visitors. And another warning. My partner cannot walk far without difficulty. We had taken a taxi down ($8) and intended to catch one back. The driver wanted a flat fare of $28 stating that this was the norm. We caught the bus and walked a part of the way.

There is a really nice indoor/outdoor mall here with lots of restaurants and shops, as well as a children's museum. The Centennial Wheel ride is a ripoff. It cost us $76 for four of us to ride ONCE. None of the other rides were open either. The kids were pretty disappointed.

We love visiting the Navy Pier. We rode the "eye" and seen all the sights, enjoyed ice cream, and had hoped for fire works but found out, unfortunately, they do not hold them on the 4th of July. After paying the parking fee, that was such a bummer to know.

We loved the pier! Great views, fun to ride the large Ferris wheel to see the views. Good shopping inside for tourist items. We ate at Giordanos pizza and had great service and pizza.

Really pleasant visit at any time of year (including the depths of winter). There aren't as many outdoor activities during the winter, but it's still a nice place to stroll, and there are plenty of restaurants and assorted activities taking place. Over the summer, they have theatre performances, concerts, and festivals here as well.

It is a fun place with nice views. Fireworks during the summer on Wednesday and Saturday nights. It is expensive. Very crowded on weekends. You can get some local favorites like Garrett Popcorn and Kilwins. Be prepared for a lot of walking and long lines. You can take the water taxi to the museum campus. Several tourist cruises and dinner cruises depart from Navy Pier.

After the Starbucks Reserve Roastery had a line wrapping around the block we decided to hit the Starbucks at Navy Pier. It has improved a bit since we were last at Navy Pier. Cute little open shops along the way. Very touristy but a fun place to wander and shop with your coffee not from the largest starbucks.

We enjoyed a nice scenic walk along Navy Pier. The ferris wheel was operating and when the weather improves, there are more amusement rides outside. You can get a scenic boat or dinner tour from this location. Inside Navy Pier is a whole different experience with restaurants and shops. The Chicago Children's Museum is located here as well as the new Flyover Chicago attraction. Parking at Navy Pier is expensive.
