Yes, it is filled with more tourists than you would ever want to see in your life! (At least for me). But I LOVE Navy Pier. This is one place you have to see. But if you're like me and hate crowds, do not go in the summertime except on a week day or late night. I love the carousel, garden, boat rides and the beautiful ballroom and Imax Theater. If you're smart, you can have a great day and still keep the price down. There is so much to do here, but go at an off time, bring your own goodies, buy a pop or snack, and stoll for hours, taking in the gorgeous surroundings.
