ACCESSIBLE ATTRACTIONS

NAVY PIER
Have a pleasant time at Navy Pier, one of Chicago’s main tourist attractions. It opened in 1916 and was previously used as a training center for the Navy. Today it hosts a variety of events, restaurants, shops, gardens, fireworks, and cultural attractions. Many ships and cruises also depart from here.
This iconic site is perfect to entertain yourself with your family or friends. It includes attractions such as the Centennial Wheel, Crystal Garden, the Chicago Children’s Museum and the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre.
All levels of Navy Pier are accessible via elevators for people with reduced mobility. As specified on its official website, service animals are welcome. Wheelchairs are available at the service desk located at the main entrance.

MILLENNIUM PARK
Be sure to tour Millennium Park. This artistic green space was designed so all visitors, regardless of their abilities, could enjoy it. As the official website of the City of Chicago points out, the park has accessible parking in all its underground garages, as well as accessible restrooms. Your inputs have the appropriate characteristics.
The park offers some of the most emblematic tourist attractions. You will come across the famous Cloud Gate, popularly known as “The Bean”, an installation with a stainless steel surface where all the activity in the environment can be seen reflected. It was created by the British sculptor Anish Kapoor and has become one of his most famous works. Don’t hesitate to take a picture.
The spectacular Crown interactive fountain is located nearby, designed by artist Jaume Plensa. It has become a meeting point for many locals. As indicated by Choose Chicago, it lacks edges and deep-water areas, so people with reduced mobility can approach and interact with it. The Jay Pritzker Pavilion or the Millennium Monument will also capture your attention.

RIVER TOUR & MAGNIFICENT MILE
Embark on one of Chicago’s river tours. There are several alternatives that will allow you to contemplate the spectacular architecture of the city on board. For example, Wendella Tours & Cruises and Chicago First Lady have accessible boats that can accommodate wheelchairs and have accessible restrooms.
Next, stroll along the Magnificent Mile, the city’s most famous shopping district.

In addition, there are a variety of restaurants and luxurious shops in the area.
