Boat

     This trip is a must for those visiting Chicago! We visited in June 2012 and took the earliest boat cruise – we would highly recommend getting up early for this – the boat was practically empty. These trips are popular and the boats later on the day are often sold out or very busy – not good for sightseeing or photo opportunities.

The information given on this cruise went beyond the usual facts-and-figures to include some fascinating facts, like how the flow of the river was reversed, how much of the riverside land was created with the rubbish and rubble from the big Chicago fire, the IQ tests given to audience applicants for the Jerry Springer show, and WHY Chicago is really called ‘the windy city'.
The guide displayed a dry sense of humour throughout the whole tour, which was very refreshing. His commentary bought this city to life and you will learn a whole lot of astounding, interesting and odd little facts as well. A trip to Chicago would not be complete without taking this tour.
    By taking this boat, we got to know the city of architecture achievement of Chicago.  The Chicago Board Trading building is very famous in the world. The '' corn" shape Marina city is a wonderful architecture. I like Reid Murdoch Building most, It was the traffic court. The building is an old fashion building, but it connect well with the modern buildings. Also, the big clock is a 80s european style.
