A wonderful view of the shoreline - They sold hats, gloves and blankets on the boat I had told my family of adults not to worry about the cold because every boat I’ve been on had blankets that they give you that’s This is the first place that sold them and that’s why they get a four instead of a five

Relaxing boat ride with wonderful views of Chicago. - This was a nice shoreline cruise, giving us the ability to see many of the tall skyscrapers from the lake. I would recommend that you sit at the top, because it was impossible to hear the recording when sitting in the bottom level. Would have preferred a live tour guide, because we had some questions along the way.
