Directions & Transit
Navy Pier is located at 600 E. Grand Avenue on Chicago's lakefront, right in the heart of the action. From O'Hare (ORD), the easiest public transit option is the CTA Blue Line — board the train inside the airport and ride it to the Clark/Lake station downtown (about 45 minutes, $5), then hop on the #66 or #124 bus for the short ride to Navy Pier. A rideshare (Uber or Lyft) from O'Hare runs roughly $50–70 and takes 25–40 minutes, depending on traffic. From Midway (MDW), take the CTA Orange Line to the Clark/Lake station (about 30 minutes, $2.50), then connect to the #66 or #124 bus to the Pier. Expect about $25–35 and 20–25 minutes for a rideshare from Midway.
If you're not arriving from one of the airports, the easiest way to navigate to Navy Pier is with Google Maps. Use the button below to open it with Navy Pier already set as your destination, then just enter your starting point and choose how you want to get there: driving, transit, biking, or walking.
Parking
Navy Pier has two on-site self-park garages — East and West — at 600 E. Grand Avenue, with rates ranging from $21 (up to an hour) to $65 (18-24 hours) depending on how long you stay. If you're dining at a participating restaurant on the Pier, ask about parking validation, which drops the rate to $20 for up to 2.5 hours. There are also several off-site garages within a short walk that offer lower rates with validation from the Navy Pier Guest Services desk.
