Part of the Master Plan of Chicago, created in 1889, by Daniel Burnham, Navy Pier has always been a recreational venue. It's also been a place for freight and docking of boat passengers. Known as Chicago's lakefront playground, Navy Pier opened for business in 1916, and was originally named Municipal Pier. The name was changed in 1927, to Navy Pier as homage to the U.S. Navy.

Pier Park at Navy Pier is home to Chicago's famous Navy Pier Ferris Wheel, which graces the Chicago skyline and is open year-round-weather permitting, of course. Reaching 150 feet into the sky, the Ferris Wheel affords unique views of Chicago and Lake Michigan. After the Ferris Wheel, try the Navy Pier Musical Carousel, fun for riders of just about any age, and graced with 36 hand-paints animals. Haven't had enough? The Navy Pier Wave Swinger lifts riders 14 feet into the air and is both thrillingand chilling.
