GREAT way to get to Chinatown , North Ave, or West Loop! Get a 10-ride pass to save money, and you can buy tickets on your phone!
$5 from the Wrigley Building to Ping Tom Park gets you great views of Chicago, a cool breeze on a hot day, and a way to avoid traffic or crowded trains from downtown to Chinatown . So worth it.
Get the all day pass. Service from Michigan Ave to Chinatown , and then you dont have to worry about parking .
Taking the water taxi instead of the cta is less expensive , gets you a bit more exercise and is a relaxing way to start/end the work day. Enjoy!
Catch a ride on the not-so-slow boat to Chinatown and enjoy a self-guided architectural tour for only $4.
Love these guys but they are not punctual and often decide to "alter " the schedule at random and without notice.
Goes about every 15 mins, make sure you sit in front to get the best view , breeze, and a little bit of splashing water. Love it.
Best option for a water promenade!
Sometimes they sell beer on the boat. Just ask.
Go to Chicago Water Taxi and sit outside on a warm sunny day while cruising the river .
Eva T is a cheater. How can she claim to have just become the mayor of a venue that hasn't been open in months.
It is great to take photos from the taxi #fijihunt
Great way to travel around the city
Eva T cheated in becoming mayor of a water taxi that has been closed for 2 months and doesn't open again until mid-March. False-mayor Eva T.

Fantastic boat tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. It was a lovely cruise up and down the river as he described all the beautiful architecture in Chicago. Well worth the money. - SooFab
Beautiful place for a picnic or bird feeding. Small playground for children and also a stop on the water taxi tour - Maia Feruzi
The #ChicagoRiverwalk is the newest attraction in downtown #Chicago. Scenic views of the city and great #dining options are two things to enjoy along the way. A must see if you're visiting the city. - Christopher Floss
