Chicagoween

Every year in October, we have Chicagoween!

Navy Fear
And one of the most popular places to go during this time is Navy Fear at Navy Pier. Yes, Navy Pier is very "touristy." In fact it is the top attraction in Illinois. Go figure. Still, it is a very fun place to go. I admit One thing to know -- go to the website and print out the coupon for $3 off per ticket. This is a great way for your family to get into the spirit & spookiness of Halloween. There are two different parts, the Demons of the Deep (mild for ages 8-12 and wild for 13 +) and Ghostly Gardens (for the younger set). Of course there's the requisite face painting, inflatable rides, and all the regular Navy Pier attractions. I usually prefer to be thrifty, but admit to taking guilty pleasures in events such as these. It's not the cost of the event itself per se, just all the stuff that always gets added on to the ticket price- food - parking ... wait save yourself some trouble on that last one and take the CTA. Navy Pier is well served by bus.
