Navy Pier Aeroballoon June 6, 2010

Chicago's beautiful lakefront has long been a top regional destination, but now visitors and residents alike will be able to take in spectacular panoramic views from a rare vantage point - floating 350 feet above Navy Pier. The new Navy Pier AeroBalloon! is a state-of-the-art anchored, helium-filled balloon that can carry up to 18 passengers at a time to a height of 35-stories. The Navy Pier AeroBalloon will fly daily at Gateway Park, just south of the front entrance to Navy Pier. Each flight lasts approximately 8-10 minutes.
