Navy Pier, Chicago

Located on Lake Michigan, just East of Chicago’s Downtown, Navy Pier has been a Chicago landmark
since it first opened in 1916. Originally designed as both a shipping and recreational facility, the Pier also served
as a military training site during two world wars, a venue for concerts and exhibitions, and the temporary home
for a once-fledgling University of Illinois’ Chicago campus.

As the Pier fell into disuse during much of the 1970s and 1980s, the State of Illinois and Chicago embarked
on a joint plan whereby, in 1989, ownership of the Pier was transferred to the Metropolitan Pier and
Exposition Authority, the same body which oversees Chicago’s McCormick Place. The Authority moved swiftl
to redesign Navy Pier into one of the country’s most unique recreation and exposition facilities.

Navy Pier now showcases a unique collection of restaurants and shops in addition to unequaled
recreational and exhibition facilities -- in a setting like no other.
