Are You In Chicago? Drop By At The Navy Pier
Certainly one of the very best tourist destinations of local and foreign visitors in Illinois is the Navy Pier in Chicago. Probably the most noticeable landmark of Navy Pier is its 150 foot Ferris Wheel which is a reminiscent of World Colombian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Nearby is a musical carousel, hand-painted with historic narrations of the pier. Between the Memorial Day and the Labor Day, fireworks demonstrations can be enjoyed every Wednesday and Saturday nights. An 18-hole Chicago-theme little golf course and a ravine climbing attraction may also be found in the Pier Park. The Fun House Maze plus the Chicago Children’s Museum are some of the indoor attractions. The five hundred seat courtyard theater as well as 200 seater Chicago Shakespeare Theater is also located here. Nearly all musical and theatrical performances were held in the 1,500-seater Skyline Stage.
Boat excursions stretch from spendthrift banquet cruises across the lakefront to rough speed boat rides. Chances are you’ll even observe a marriage on board one of several boats! A lot of environment friendly festivals are being held here. There are a selection of stores at Navy Pier, with various distinctive memento items and local souvenirs. Dining options vary from refreshment stands to some mini foodcourt to exceptional restaurants.
Navy Pier likewise is a convention center, which can cater medium sized exhibits with 55,000 square meters of exhibition room in Festival Hall and 36 conference rooms. Crystal Gardens is a 1acre steamy paradise with |more than 70 full grown palm trees and many different seasonal plants and flowers. Private parties and corporate dealings are held here or you may choose from over a hundred Chicago Hotels and convention facilities in close proximity.
The lake front is an excellent location for cycling and skating – one may hire bicycles or roller bladesat Bike Chicago, somewhere at the pier. And if you want a break from all of the activity, Navy Pier {is really} an excellent spot to simply sit and enjoy all the people around. http://www.iStayGreen.org – the directory of Green hotels – found this location and other locations everywhere in the world to be environmentally friendly.
A little flashback from the earlier period: Navy Pier was first built in 1916 and was formerly called Municipal Pier No. 2, since Municipal Pier No. 1 did not in reality materialize. It had been the largest pier in the world then with 292 x 3000 feet in measurement (89 x 914 meters). It served the Lake Michigan freighters and offered shipping to other cities on the Great Lakes, as well as for recreational purposes at some point in that time. In 1927, it was renamed as “Navy Pier” to pay homage to the Navy veterans during the World War I. In 1941, Navy Pier was modified to navy use and used throughout the World War II as a teaching facility. From 1946 to 1964, it had been made an annex of the University of Illinois. After a lull in the 1970’s and 1980’s, Navy Pier was invigorated beginning with its two oldest existing structures; the Headhouse and the Auditorium, and, today, it is a multi million dollar convention, entertainment and recreation center and Chicago’s major destination.
Are you aware that the twin towers of the Headhouse were in reality water tanks of 2 million liters of water each? It was used for the sprinkler system of the pier.
The perfect time to go to Navy Pier will likely be through the summer to actually appreciate its beauty and charm. Previous guests commented that some outdoor sights were closed particularly during wet and heavy rain seasons.
