Soar above the Windy City in a private helicopter, tracing the glittering shoreline of Lake Michigan and the architectural giants of the Loop. A once-in-a-lifetime aerial perspective no street-level tour can rival.
What to expect
Board at the downtown helipad just minutes from Navy Pier and lift off over Grant Park, Millennium Park, and the jaw-dropping canyon of Michigan Avenue skyscrapers. Your pilot narrates the architectural story of Burnham, Mies van der Rohe, and the Willis Tower from 1,000 feet. On clear days, the Indiana Dunes and Wisconsin shoreline stretch to the horizon. Flights are private (your group only) and last 15–30 minutes depending on the package chosen.
Good to know
Book the earliest available slot to secure morning light for photography. The helipad is a 10-minute rideshare from Navy Pier. Flights are weather-dependent; confirm the morning of departure. Allow 90 minutes total, well within a standard port day.
