AMC Navy Pier IMAX Theatre

Towering screens. Striking clarity. Deep, sharp sound. This is the ultimate immersive movie-going experience. Visit amctheatres.com to find out about upcoming films.

Chicago Children’s Museum

Kids dig for bones on a dinosaur expedition, scale a three-story schooner, and even make a splash in a squirting, pumping water playground. Chicago Children’s Museum is three floors of fun for kids (ages 10 and under) and their families.

Tour Chicago by Land, Water or Air

Access any number of Chicago tours from Navy Pier, including Chicago Big Bus Tours, Vertiport Helicopter Tours and Architecture River Tours. You can also rent bicycles to explore the lakefront on your own.

Aon Summer Fireworks

Fireworks perfectly synchronized to music have become a Navy Pier institution. Biweekly shows are scheduled on Wednesdays and Saturdays from Memorial Day through Labor Day. For an extra-special experience, watch the fireworks from the water, on the deck of a cruise boat.
