Whether you’re looking for a dinner cruise with a great view of fireworks, an afternoon at sea, or a morning on the water with an endless breakfast buffet, Spirit Cruises offers a variety of excursions to suit whatever it is you are looking for.

It’s not Cirque du Soleil. Less theater, more thrills; less art, more action. Cirque Shanghai is the other big circus which rolls through town every year.

Where will you be when the fireworks start popping off Navy Pier this July 4th? If you don’t want to be stuck in a tourist trap but still want to see all the action, try celebrating America’s Birthday at one of these five fiery places.

We Chicagoans like our fireworks, and between Memorial Day and Labor Day you can catch them every Wednesday and Saturday evening at Navy Pier.

Navy Pier is the ultimate tourist attraction and a great way to spend a day downtown.
