Audio Tour

From the base of the staircase on the first floor, walk under the staircase towards the McDonalds. Once you reach McDonalds, turn right -- just past their counters -- and head back outside through the glass exit doors.

Once outside, walk east -- left -- to a staircase just to the right of Margaritaville. Take the stairs up to our next stop, Pier Park.

Pier Park features the pier’s iconic Centennial Wheel, a carousel, and other amusement rides. The 196-foot tall Centennial Wheel is the centerpiece of Pier Park. The slow-moving climate controlled cabins give passengers a breath-taking view of Lake Michigan and Chicago’s skyline. Here's a fun fact -- the Ferris Wheel was invented in Chicago for Chicago’s 1893 World’s Fair!

When done exploring Pier Park, head down any of the outdoor stairs to the main level of the pier, then tap the "Next" button.
