A whirlwind attraction that juts out into the Great Lake, the highlight of the pier is the iconic Ferris Wheel that spins rapidly, with the urbane Chicago skyline in the backdrop. Dinner cruise ships ply the waters around the pier, inviting visitors to step aboard a vibrant extravaganza that ends in fireworks on Wednesday and Saturday nights. The pier is also home to the botanical Crystal Gardens, the Chicago Children`s Museum, and the Chicago Shakespeare Theater that showcases Shakespearean productions.
