Navy Pier has become one of Chicago's major tourist attractions.
One of the jewels in this spot is a beautiful auditorium at the end of the pier. There is a major art show that comes here in May where galleries from all over the world exhibit their art.
It is a great setting for art, and when your eyes need a rest you can walk outside and chill looking at the lake and the boats and the skyline.
Anytime of the year though there is activity here, restaurants, shops, theaters, etc. It is worth a visit; even as a Chicago native I usually have fun when I come here.
Joe's BeBop cafe is just one of the many places worth visiting.
