Our Chicago River cruises depart from our scenic dockside along the Chicago Riverwalk, just three blocks north of Millennium Park and steps from The Magnificent Mile.
The entrance to our Riverwalk dock is located on street level on the northeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive (112 E. Wacker Drive). Descend the stairs two levels to our dockside ticket office.
For GPS purposes, use 112 E. Wacker Drive as your destination.
The closest and most convenient parking option is the LAZ Parking Service Garage located at 111 E. Wacker Dr. (Illinois Center).
This garage is directly across the street from the stairway to our dock and next door to the Chicago Architecture Center. The entrance is the first driveway east of Michigan Avenue, on the south side of Upper East Wacker Drive. Reservations can be made online.
If you don't prepay for a parking space online, bring your parking ticket to our ticket office for a parking validation sticker. You can also get a parking validation sticker from the boat's bartender if the ticket office is closed. The discounted rate with validation is $14 (for 3 hours or less) or $15 (for 4 hours or less). No discounts offered for 4+ hours.
Alternatively, we also encourage our guests to use SpotHero, which often has the best rates at this and other nearby garages in the River North and Loop neighborhoods.
Note: LAZ Parking Services at 111 E. Wacker is not owned or affiliated with Chicago’s First Lady Cruises. The parking information posted here is merely for the convenience of our guests and is not to be construed as a recommendation or endorsement.
