You’re in a new city. The sun is shining, and the sound of water is nearby. You turn a corner—and wow! There it is: the Chicago Riverwalk. Long, lively, and full of surprises, this river path is the perfect place to explore, relax, and enjoy the best of the Windy City.
Imagine a long walkway next to a river, surrounded by tall buildings, boats, lights, and people having fun. That’s the Chicago Riverwalk! It’s 1.25 miles (about 2 kilometres) of shops, food, parks, and exciting activities. You can walk, sit, eat, learn, and enjoy the beautiful views—all in one place.
The Chicago Riverwalk shows you the best of the city. It’s like a moving picture of Chicago’s culture, art, history, and food. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, there’s always something new to see.
Here’s a little secret: this place is also a favourite spot for locals. People come here to relax after work, take photos, and even go for boat rides.
Let’s walk together and see some of the best places along the Riverwalk!
This is where the three branches of the Chicago River come together. It’s a cool place to start your journey. The water looks amazing and the buildings around you are HUGE! Take a selfie here—you’ll thank us later.
Ever wonder how big city bridges work? This museum tells you! You can even go inside the bridge and see the gears. It’s small but super interesting. And guess what? It’s inside a real bridge tower!
Love nature? The Jetty is a calm spot where you can see fish and plants right in the middle of the city. There are little platforms where you can get close to the water. It’s peaceful and perfect for a break.
Get ready for fun! This area has small fountains that splash water into the air—great for a hot day. Kids (and teens too!) love it here. Sit nearby and enjoy the sound of water and laughter.
Want to try something different? Rent a kayak and paddle through the river. It’s a little adventure right in the middle of the city. You’ll feel like you’re in a movie, floating between skyscrapers!
After a fun walk along the Riverwalk, you will start feeling hungry—and lucky for you, there’s no shortage of delicious food here! The Chicago Riverwalk is a food lover’s paradise. Along the path, you’ll find many different spots where you can grab a tasty bite, enjoy a cool drink, or even share a sweet treat with friends. Whether you’re craving something warm and cheesy, fresh and healthy, or cold and refreshing, there’s something for everyone. You can sit by the river, feel the breeze, and watch the boats pass by as you enjoy your meal. It’s the perfect way to relax, recharge, and take in the beautiful views of the city around you. Eating here isn’t just about food—it’s about the full experience: the sounds of the water, the happy energy of people enjoying their day, and the joy of trying something new.
