I also have a three-wheeled racing chair. I would like to donate these items and I want to make sure they will be given to someone who could really use these.

Navy Pier and the Boat Tour
Submitted by sshulman on Mon, 2006-10-23 23:45.
 summaryNo discussion of siteseeing in Chicago would be complete without a description for Navy Pier, Filled with shops, a Childrens' Museum and a Shakespeare Theatre, this destination has something for everyone. We found the Architectural Boat Tour especially appealing for slow walkers and those in wheelchairs. A number of boat tours depart from the Pier daily, but our favorite is the wheelchair accessible Architectural Boat Tour which departs from across the street from the main entrance to Navy Pier rather than from the Pier itself. Parking is easy in the Navy Pier Parking Garage with plenty of Handicapped Accessible Parking and nearyby Pier entrances. reviewNavy Pier Perhaps one of Chicago's most famous landmarks, Navy Pier is especially easy for wheelchairs to navigate through. With ramped, wide doorways and restaurants that offer easy entrances, those with disabilities will find Navy Pier a great place to enjoy year-round. Handicapped parking is located in the Navy Pier Parking Garage. Every handicapped parking space is located right next to a Pier entrance door. One word of caution, is to get there early in the day if possible to ensure parking in the Navy Pier Garage. Check out the Children's Museum or enjoy the beautiful stained glass window exhibit maps and directions |
