We know that winter can be a drag, but it doesn’t have to be! Especially when you live in such a vibrant city like Chicago and Navy Pier’s right in your backyard! To help keep February exciting for all of our great Navy Pier fans, we’re introducing Ignite Your Fridays! This special event will take…
