About this activity

Meet at the Vertiport Chicago and board a state-of-the-art helicopter to begin your helicopter tour.

Admire wonderful views of Lake Michigan, with Navy Pier stretching across the water and picturesque Lincoln Park lining the shores. See iconic skyscrapers like Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), Trump Tower and the John Hancock Building, and soar past main Chicago sites like Soldier's Field, United Center, Grant Park, the Lincoln Park Zoo, the Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum.

Marvel at the masterful beauty and architecture of Millennium Park, designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry -- a landmark that can only be truly appreciated by air.

With your two-way audio headset, your pilot will provide expert commentary about all the sights you see, and will be available to answer questions you have throughout your helicopter flight.

Plus, your helicopter is heated, making this tour great for any time of year!

1st day was overcast sky, but the customer service was excellent and so understanding. They asked us to come back any day any time during our trip and they would accommodate us. The staff was really friendly and the place was beautiful, really well managed and run. This is one of the largest helipads in the country - right in the heart of Chicago! Our next day we got into the helicopter right away. Our pilot, Eric was awesome! He is a caring person, our kids loved him! The ride in itself is totally worth it - magnificent views over Chicago, Lake Mich, the Chicago river, all over downtown, the towers, Soldier Park - just breathtaking...it was for 15 mins but when you are up there and cruising it seems like a long ride. Happy landings in the end : After the ride we went into the garage, saw the operations, took pictures...best thing we did in Chi town. Kudos to the team there...highly recommend!
