Navy Pier Will Begin Phased Reopening June 10

Navy Pier will begin a phased reopening on June 10, with select attractions open and available to the public between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. The popular tourist destination has been closed since March 16 due to COVID-19.

“Following Navy Pier’s longest closure in recent history, we, along with the rest of Chicago, are anxious to reopen our spaces and safely welcome guests back to the Pier over the next few months as we work collectively to restore our local economy,” said Marilynn Gardner, Navy Pier president and CEO.

Navy Pier’s framework, which aligns with Phases 3, 4 and 5 of the state’s “Restore Illinois” plan and the city’s “Protecting Chicago” outline, includes multiple layers of stringent cleaning and disinfecting, equipping employees with appropriate resources and new physical distancing practices. Pier Park’s rides will also have new measures in place when they reopen at a later date.
