February in Chicago - We stayed at the hotel right on Navy Pier and so glad we did! What a beautiful view of the city, with so much to do! We were nervous about visiting Chicago in the middle of winter, but it turns out that winter is best time for people who don't love huge crowds. No wait for the Centennial Wheel and zero waits for a table at prime meal times. Most of the staff was lovely. Do miss the deep dish at Giordano's, it is phenomenal!

Navy Pier - Can’t say you’ve been to Chicago without strolling along the Navy Pier! It’s as connected to the city as pizza and the Chicago Theater.

Fun day - Such a nice area the Ferris wheel was nice can see the skyline a little pricey but would recommend. There was a lot to do with the kids they had mini golf, teacups, a snow slide, axe throwing. Decorations for Christmas were so nice

Navy Pier in Chicago - The day we visited was sun, which made the place even more pleasant. A visit to the Navy Pier is one of the highlights in Chicago, whether to eat, stroll or simply follow the sunset. There are several restaurants and bathrooms there. If lucky, they can still watch activities like a rock band. Sensational.

explore near lake - We love visiting the Navy Pier. We rode the "eye" and seen all the sights Over the summer, they have theatre performances, concerts, and festivals here as well. 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.

Ride the Ferris Wheel - A visit to Navy Pier would not be high on my priority list except for the Ferris Wheel ride. Some fast food eateries & a beautiful view of the lake but there is too many other things to see and do.
