Are all the rides open year round?

The wheel is the only outdoor ride that is open all year

Where are the shops?

Kinda sorta expensive to. But bargain shop, that's what we did. Bubba Gump Shrimp was the best on prices. Food and novelties.

What's the price to go in the rink

Ten (without renting skates), fifteen with skates

What about parking at the Pier?

As of 6/21/19, 1 hour is 15, up to 1.5 hours is 25, up to 2 hours is 30, up to 6 hours is 35, up to 12 hours is 40, up to 24 hours is 50

I heard that Vertiport Chicago Helicopter Tours is at Navy pier, how do I book my flight ?

They have a blue Kiosk by the sea dog I believe. They book your flight at the pier and then send you to their facility and bring you back to the pier! It is a great experience

Can one get a famous street vendor Chicago hot dog at Navy Pier?

I could not see any, it was very cold outside.

The Parking was outrageous though and ridiculous...We were only there for a hour and a half and we had to pay $30 for the parking lot inside. Will not return for parking there, otherwise everything else was awesome!!Loved it!!😍

That's why I take CTA and Metra everywhere!

Does they have wheelchair assessable?

Yes

Are dogs allowed on the Ferris wheel?

You'd have to call ahead

Love coming here in the summer. So much to do! Too bad this year it's been crazy and things have slowed down. Wish they had painted a different color in the inside. It looks so dark and somber now. I hate it! Hence the 4 stars. Otherwise fun place

Enjoyed the Tall Ships because the pier has changed immensely. It looks and feels more like O'Hare airport. It's too dark and color scheme is depressing. It doesn't feel family oriented like it used to be many years ago.

This was a nice place to visit in Chicago. If you go during the low season (October/November), many places by the Pier are closed. However, there are not that many people. You can also take good pictures with the view (although it may be foggy).

Navy pier is awesome. I visited here last week and enjoyed my time. It’s an amazing tourist attraction. There seems to be proper social distancing going on with no many people so yeah I assume it’s pretty safe to spend some time here and enjoy even during the pandemic.

This is a very interesting must to go place while you are in a Chicago. It has so much to offer. There are ample shopping inside, a museum with a huge real T-Rex skeleton and the inside and outside views are simply awesome.

Visited this weekend, during Chicago's first open weekend. The pier would definitely be hip once things are back to normal but it was still enjoyable. Loved the water, view of the city, indoor restaurants, and ability to catch tours all in one location.

A must visit if you’re a tourist in Chicago. From the Ferris wheel to the children’s museum...there is something for everyone! Even just walking the pier (which is free) is fun with amazing views of the city. Only con is getting there as it’s not on the beaten path but there is a bus

Such a wonderful place with so many options. There is something here for all ages from 2 to 102. I am a proud Chicagoan who enjoys our beautiful sites. I have equally fun times with whomever I come with - my buddies for a beer, going on a cruise with my wife or just a fun day with the little ones. Highly recommend.

If you've never been to Chi town this is an excellent place to start. Many things were closed but it was still an awesome experience 😎 It was raining when we went. However there are many tour boats that will take you around the pier on the water too.

This is the most beautiful place to spend evening in Chicago. If you wonder why chicago is called “The Windy City”, you must take a walk around the navy pier. Inside of the navy pier is also amazing with shops from clothing to tastier food, spicy to Mexican food- everything available at reasonable price to satisfy people’s taste bud. The outside fountain, lights, evening music - everything is superb here.

Rented a 2 person bike car (no idea what its called) was really nice to rent and then ride down the shore. Then went to Bubba Gump after for dinner, recommend the shrimp app, enough for a meal! Always great time on and around the pier even with the covid going on
