Q&A

Q: How do I reschedule if the weather is bad on the day of the cruise?

A: If the weather looks rough, you can call Wendella's customer service. They’re usually pretty flexible with rescheduling, especially for rain. Just make sure to contact them at least a few hours before your cruise. Also, check their website for any weather-related updates!

Q: What should I wear for the fireworks cruise? Is it chilly on the water?

A: Definitely bring a light sweater or jacket, especially if you’re taking the cruise in the fall. It can get a bit breezy on the river. Comfortable shoes are a must too, since you’ll be boarding and moving around. Just be ready for an awesome view!

Q: Is this cruise good for kids? Any age limits?

A: Yes, this cruise is great for kids! There aren’t any specific age limits, but keep in mind it’s a pretty short experience, only 45 minutes. The fireworks are exciting, and the views are perfect for families. Just make sure to supervise them while on board.

Just did the Chicago River Fireworks Cruise, and it was amazing!

I surprised my girlfriend with the Chicago River Fireworks Cruise last week, and it was totally worth it! The views from the river were incredible, and we got to see the Navy Pier fireworks up close. Only 45 minutes and it was perfect for an evening out. The staff was friendly, and the air conditioning was a lifesaver since it was a hot night. I highly recommend it as a unique date night gift! Just make sure to book in advance.

Considering buying this experience for my parents!

My parents are visiting Chicago next month, and I think the Chicago River Fireworks Cruise would be an awesome gift for them! They're in their 60s and love a good view. Just curious how early I should book it and if there’s anything else I should know before purchasing. Anyone have tips?
