Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the architecture tour?

A: No, there's no specific age limit for this tour! It’s designed to be family-friendly, so kids of all ages are welcome. Just keep in mind that younger kids might need some engaging conversation about the buildings. But I took my 5-year-old, and he loved it!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: If the weather turns bad, they have an enclosed climate-controlled lounge on the boat, so you’ll be comfortable regardless. If things get too dicey, they might reschedule the tour. It’s best to check the forecast and call ahead if you’re uncertain!

Q: What should I wear for the architecture tour?

A: I'd recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes since you'll be moving around the boat and possibly standing at the rail for better views. If it's chilly, do bring a light jacket because it can get breezy on the water!

Thinking of gifting the Chicago River Architecture Tour, but unsure!

Hey everyone! I'm considering this 45-minute architecture tour from Magnificent Mile for my dad's birthday. He loves history and architecture. Has anyone done this with older parents? Is the pace okay? I saw it mentions local guides, which sounds cool! Just trying to gauge if it would be a hit or miss.

Just did the architecture tour. What an experience!

I had a blast on the Chicago River architecture tour last weekend! The views were stunning, and our guide shared some really cool stories about the buildings. The boat was nice and clean too, plus we had a perfect day weather-wise. I’d recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves Chicago!
