Navy Pier reopening June 10

Navy Pier reopening June 10.

Part of Navy Pier are reopening.  According to their website everything will be outdoors.  Many restaurants at Navy Pier already had large outdoor patios.  Also Navy Pier booze rules allow you to walk around with your cocktail and social distance.   People who purchase an alcoholic beverage from a licensed vendor at Navy Pier are allowed to carry that drink throughout the Pier’s indoor and outdoor areas in specially marked, disposable cups provided by the vendor. No BYOB allowed anywhere on the Pier.

Hours of operation will be from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and may vary per establishment.

Lots of walking

Keep in mind that the pier is 6 blocks from the front of the pier to the end out in the lake.  They used to offer van shuttle and a large open air golf cart shuttle but there is no indication they are running.
