AeroBalloon

If you have the chance, don't miss the AeroBalloon. It's a unique experience. This is a large helium balloon located at Navy Pier with a basket with capacity for 17 passengers. The balloon is anchored to the ground and doesn't move from its spot, but the views of the Chicago skyline and Navy Pier itself you get when you're up are amazing. It's a little pricey ($25 per person), and lasts only 8-10 minutes. Check beforehand to see if it's operational as it is grounded in bad weather.
