Highlights / General details
There is a secret in Chicago and it only comes out at night. It is a different place, a wondrous place full of light, steel and glass. It is Chicago, it is the most beautiful city in the world. Our world renowned skyline is one thing during the day but it is something totally different at night.
Our city lights tour exists beyond what any architect or city planner could have envisioned for this city. It is the tour of a living, breathing, moving entity. It shifts under your feet and its output is light, light like you have never seen it before.
There is a quietness, a calm, a hush in a city of 3 million people you can have a few private moments alone just you and the skyline.
Night tours take off from our heliport and give a glowing view of The Willis, Hancock and Trump towers. As you continue along the lakefront you’ll see the city lights shift and glimmer into maze of parks, waterways and buildings including Millennium, Grand and Maggie Daley parks. As you reach Montrose Harbor, after passing Wrigley Field, on the north you will be whisked back down over Buckingham Fountain, The Chicago River, Navy Pier and Soldier Field before landing back at Chicago’s only Private Heliport. There’s a reason the Night is the most popular time to fly. Come see why.
Points of Interest: Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, Mellenium Park, Willis Tower, North Avenue Beach, Lincoln Park Zoo, Wrigley Field, Navy Pier, Adler Planetarium, McCormick Place.
