While in Chicago we were only a couple minute walk from the historic Navy Pier or an even shorter trolley ride. We found ourselves down there on three separate occasions and on one occasion we had a lot more time to explore and wander around. On another night I finally went up in the famous Ferris Wheel at dusk which made for a fun ride but lousy photos. Clicking on any of the photos will take you through to it’s page on Flickr and a more detailed explanation.
You can see the rest of my photos from Navy Pier in their photoset on Flickr.
[...] it appears that I have a bit of a fascination with Navy Pier. If you didn’t check out the photos before, you can do it [...]
I notice that you mention staying very close to the Navy Pier. Can you recommend a good place to stay in that area? What area of Chicago is is? ie north, south?
Thanks for your help. We plan to attend the EAA aircraft convention in Oshkosh next summer and may spend a few days in Chicago. We are from Vancouver, B.C. – fellow Canadians and fellow Christians!
