As we headed out from the Millennium Park, walking along the shorelines of Lake Michigan, we made our way to the Navy Pier. I loved the yacht and the other boats anchored along the shorelines. Wow!

The view from here is really refreshing - with the skyscrapers along the shorelines and the chilly winds breezing against your face, WOW!! It is a sight to see the water boats sail through.

The Navy Pier Children Museum is a must visit - there are hoards of people out there, and me being the typical Indian, it is indeed brightening to see such a crowd. There are loads and loads of shops, eateries lined up inside. There is this Richard Heus Stained glass painting gallery which is an interesting stop by - to see the pieces of art. The room was darkened a little to enhance the beauty of the glass paintings.

The giant wheel - Ferris Wheel is iconic and adds an aura to the picturesque view. It is about 45 m high. The Navy Pier is a recreational facility located on the shoreline of Lake Michigan. It has parks, garden, play area, shops and loads of restaurants. Nice place to spend the evening by - watching the city lighten up.

Do opt for the Shoreline classic lake tour - the best 40 minutes to view the entire city of Chicago and the Lake Michigan. The ride through the boat is entertaining with the continuous commentary and the anchor keeps the riders quite enthralled.

Few pictures from the visit:
