    Relaxing

    We took the 40-minute lake cruise. It gave us a break from walking around Chicago. It was relaxing and enjoyable to be out on the water and gave our pup a chance to relax from the day's activities too. This is a pre-recorded narrated tour with good information about the Chicago skyline.

    enjoyed it more than I thought!

    my mom & I were in chicago for a few days & saw the boat tours were dog friendly - sure, sign me up. but wow, our tour guide was a local architecture major & it was fascinating! there were both chairs & benches to sit on, my pup (30 pounds) sat on my lap on a bench to be able to look out & feel the breeze. I get seasick easily, but this boat was smooth. there were I believe 3 other dogs on our trip as well. 5 bones for sure!

    Fun time

    I was very happy to be able to bring my baby sparkle with us to the boat ride. I’m sure I enjoyed it more than she did. There is no extra fee for your pet and it does need to be on leash.
