Lake Michigan Fireworks Cruise i Chicago

This cruise was well worth the money. Absolutely beautiful watching the sun set and the 3D fireworks were amazing.

Please take a jacket, it’s windy on the water. Our guide was phenomenal. It was an architectural cruise and absolutely beautiful skyline and the stories behind the buildings, how they were designed along with the master minds. Knowledge of the docking system for our boats before entering the lake and returning to the river. Good bartenders. Beautiful fireworks. Highly recommended.

It was difficult to find the exact loading location. The operater of this cruise needs to provide clearer more concise instructions. Pictures of the blue tent where you check in and the location would be helpful. Also, inform people considering purchasing the cruise that they will be required to walk down (and back up) a considerable amount of stairs and stand for extended periods of time.

Not worth the money. Most of the tour was sitting and floating in 1 spot. They should consider making the tour a little longer while waiting for the fireworks to start. Well over half the tour was sitting in 1 spot waiting for fireworks, then after waiting for the locks to open. People were literally falling asleep. Or maybe consider at least some up beat music while floating in the same spot.

Great way to see the Chicago skyline at night. Cruise around Lake Michigan for an hour and a half and then take in the fireworks. Crew did a great job.

Overall a fun cruise - the only issue was the boat started heading in before the fireworks even finished. I get they wanted to get into the locks but we still sat there for a bit anyway. There was a bit of an architectural tour after which was presented quite well and with good humor by the tour guide - she was very entertaining. I don't recall her name but we did the 8:00 cruise on Wed. August 5.

This is for tourists and locals! This excursion gave me a much higher experience than I expected it would. The ship was clean, the crew was courteous and friendly. There were some lovely groups and couples that were near us that we got to converse with and help each other take pictures. It was such a positive, relaxing, fun activity to make memories on!

The architecture tour with a sunset and firework finale was incredible and unforgettable. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Chicago for the first time. It was a lovely experience. The line gets long, best tip is to get there early and have your tickets ready. Seating is first come first serve, choose your seats while you’re in line, then make your way to them as you board in. You can bring your own snacks and drinks. It was difficult to hear and understand the tour guide over people’s chatter which is unfortunate for us who are interested in listening. If that matters to you, sit as close as possible to the speaker. The fireworks were a good time and were done in a reasonable length of time. The length of this whole event, was nice, not too short, and not extremely long but longer than expected so we had to push dinner reservations. We had to try and run off the boat as soon we could before the exit got congested with people un boarding. It may be a better idea to eat dinner before this event or go somewhere without a reservation afterwards.

Absolutely amazing fireworks show! Best ones we have ever seen, and even more beautiful seeing it on the water and the chicago skyline at night!

Excellent vibes, amazing views! Lifetime experience seeing the fireworks from that close! Thanks for bringing Chicago closer to my heart!
