Island Party Boat in northern Illinois on the Chicago River or Lake Michigan is a unique experience that will make you feel like you're on a tropical vacation. It is ideal for weekends in the summer or private events.
The best way to get to this downtown Chicago excursion is by public transportation. If you are coming from outside the city, it is best to grab a Metra or CTA train and then walk through Millennium Park to the docks.
The best part of this floating tiki bar is the views. Whether you sail Lake Michigan or the Chicago River, you'll get incredible sights of the skyline.
The cost runs between $25 and $65 per trip. Events are selling out quickly, so book your experience soon if you wish to enjoy this tropical mini getaway.
