But asNavy Pier gets ready to flip to tripledigits this summer, the venerablecivic icon not only remains one of thebiggest tourist attractions in the Midwest, one could argue that it’snever looked better.

Location, of course, has been andcontinues to be one of the Pier’s signature calling cards, offering theperfect combination of cool lakebreezes and unbelievable city views.But there’s so much more! Dozens ofgreat dining options, an amazing children’s museum, lake and rivercruise boats, indoor gardens, bikerentals, Shakespeare plays, IMAXmovies, exciting carnival rides (including a huge new Ferris wheel)and plenty of live music and entertainment around every corner.All this, plus fireworks every Saturdayand Wednesday night starting thisweek – now THAT’s how you do 100 right!
