"Navy Pier is considered one of Chicago's most important landmarks, which has experienced a profound rebirth in the past 15 years. Originally opened in 1916, Navy Pier was the only pier to combine the shipping business with the pleasure of entertainment. During the 1970s, Navy Pier fell into disuse; however, in July 1995, it was reborn and now is considered the Midwest's #1 tourist and leisure destination. Resting on 50 acres, Navy Pier offers everything from rides to restaurants to boat tours to promenades to gardens to shops. It is also home to a fireworks display on Wednesday and Saturday nights during the summer months. Lauren's favorite part is the ferris wheel and the beer garden. :)"

"For our littlest guests, the Chicago Children's Museum may be the highlight of their visit! Founded in 1982, the Children's Museum holds 3 floors of engaging and educational exhibits at Chicago's Navy Pier. While kids of all ages will certainly enjoy all the museum has to offer, the exhibits are catered to children in 5th grade and below. For more information, please visit the link above."
