Located on Lake Michigan, just East of Chicago's Downtown, Navy Pier has been a Chicago landmark since its opening in 1916. Originally designed as both a shipping and recreational facility, the Pier also served as a military training site during two world wars, a venue for concerts and exhibitions, and the temporary home for a once-fledgling University of Illinois' Chicago campus. Navy Pier is now Illinois' number one tourist attraction.
