Upgrade your experience

Add a little extra in the checkout to make the most of your visit

  • Learn more about America’s Second City with a guided tour as you cruise along Lake Michigan
  • Enjoy Chicago’s packed skyline and take the chance to capture a picture of it all at once from the water
  • Wind your way through the narrow Chicago River with towers looming above you before entering Lake Michigan

After the Great Chicago Fire in 1871 the city had to rebuild, and they made sure to rebuild big. Chicago became a pioneering destination for skyscrapers, taking advantage of new architectural practices, and hasn't looked back since.

These Chicago Urban Adventure Cruise: 90-minute River and Lake tickets let you see the city's landmarks including the Willis Tower, AON Center, and the John Hancock Building – designed by the same mind that gave the Louvre its glass pyramid.

The city's iconic towers have been paid homage to in movies – think Gotham City – and Chicago remains a jewel in the crown of global architecture. This is one trip you'll want to bring your camera on.

  • Present your smartphone ticket to Chicago Urban Adventure Cruise: 90-minute River and Lake at the dock

  • Departure is at the Southeast corner of the Michigan Avenue Bridge, on the river level. Look out for the blue awning at the top of the stairway!
  • Make sure to check in at least 15 minutes before the start of your chosen cruise
