Experience Chicago from Lake Michigan
There is no better view of this city
Chicago was built facing the water. From a WaveRunner you get the whole thing at once — Lincoln Park slipping past the bow, Navy Pier off to the south, and the downtown towers standing straight up out of Lake Michigan. It is the same skyline on every postcard, except you are the one moving through it.
Where you'll ride
Your Lake Michigan ride area
The Skyline Jetski ride area runs along the Chicago lakefront from Foster Beach in the north down to the Adler Planetarium in the south — which means the entire downtown skyline stretch is yours to ride.
The Playpen (between Oak Street and Ohio Street beaches) and the Chicago River are completely off limits.
- North limit: Foster Beach
- South limit: Adler Planetarium
- Off limits: The Playpen & Chicago River
