Navy Pier is the number one tourist and leisure destination in the Midwest, attracting more than 8 million visitors each year. The signature landmark -- the 150-foot-high Ferris wheel – plus a variety of dining options, including everything from fast food to upscale, boat tours, shopping and free performances attract couples, families, out-of-towners and locals alike. In the summer, weekly fireworks illuminate the sky each Wednesday and Saturday nights. Special attractions include Chicago Shakespeare Theater, Chicago Children's Museum, Amazing Chicago, Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows, IMAX Theater, and Skyline Stage.
