There are vacations and then there are Chicago vacations. Chicago vacations are never just another vacation.  Visit the Navy Pier, the city’s most visited attraction and a major Chicago landmark since its opening in 1916. Originally conceived as both an entertainment facility and a working dock on Lakes Michigan, the Pier has also served as a military training site and a venue for concerts and exhibitions. Now Navy Pier offers a collection of shops, restaurants, and attractions that are fun for the entire family.  When you stay at the Hilton Indian Lakes Resort all of the top Chicago vacation tourist attractions are nearby.

The main attractions at the Navy Pier’s Family Pavilion make a Chicago vacation great for the whole family with their 50,000 square foot Chicago Children’s Museum and the 440 seat Imax Theater.

The South Arcade houses shops, restaurants, and attractions like Time Escape, Amazing Chicago, and the Chicago Shakespeare Theater.

Chicago is the perfect destination for family vacations, with fun, excitement, and educational opportunities everywhere you look.
