Item Description
Snap these up for 4 History & Architecture kayak tours, valid for the 2022 season!
This two hour kayak tour guides you from the early years of the city to the present as we paddle through the picturesque urban canyon of the downtown Chicago River. Soak up the sights and history along the bustling corridor of the recently renovated riverwalk promenade, and experience an unmatched view of our ever-developing city of skyscrapers!
Learn about the major players in the development of early Chicago, the river’s outsized significance to the city’s meteoric growth, how colossal engineering feats shaped the cityscape, why the river flows in reverse, and much more.
During the excursion, kayakers enjoy passing under the many unique, articulated ironwork bridges (the second largest operational drawbridge system in the world!), the always-entertaining shoreline people-watching, and the wildlife that has been drawn back to this majestic downtown segment of the Chicago River.
