📸 Photography Quick Navy Pier Question

[ChrisRac]

I want to head out to the pier to grab some night photos of the city. Is it accessible 24 hours? Website says it closes at 8 but that it applies to merchants and shit. Doesn't say anything about the Pier itself.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure they have locked gates

Yup, gates but not sure if time.

Last time I got off a boat at 9:30 they had them partially rolled out already.

 

[ChrisRac]

Dammit. Ok. Thanks guys.

Might go to North Ave Beach instead

Theres a bike path and lake path just south of the pier across the river entrance.

Are you talking about the one on the other side of this barrier? If so, the pier is in the way and I can't get the shots I want.

Not sure if thats too far for you but its always a nice view.

Also other wise if youre able to get to this spot, opposite side of the city, it has an amazing view of the city from this parking lot.

Ahh... my fault. You're right. Thinking about trekking down there. Thanks for the info.

Solidarity drive has some AWESOME city view shots for photos. Even better than Navy Pier IMO.
