Navy Pier Description

The Navy Pier originally opened in 1916 as an amusement area and shipping facility and is now one of Chicago's most popular tourist attractions. The facility served as a military training site during both world wars and was the location of the University of Illinois from 1946 to 1965. It sat in neglect during the 70s and 80s but a massive refurbishment campaign began in 1991. Today, the Navy Pier is made up of 50 acres of gardens, attractions, shops, restaurants, concert venues and parks. There is a 150-ft Ferris wheel and an historic carousel in Navy Pier Park. Visitors can also watch a film at the Loews Cineplex Navy Pier 3D Imax Theatre, take in the free Stained Glass Museum, watch actors perform the classics at the Chicago Shakespeare
