- Overview
Experience the city lights on a Chicago helicopter ride! Depart from the downtown Chicago heliport and be whisked over the glowing skyline. The pilot-led tour highlights the rich history of Chicago while gliding above the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), Lincoln Park, Soldier Field, Wrigley Field, and so much more! Departing from the heliport located minutes from Loop, the experience begins with a customer experience center and flight simulator.

Relax in our comfortable seating area watching the take-offs and landings from the helipad and enjoy complimentary coffee and refreshments.
Passengers are briefed with safety and security procedures and loaded into the cutting-edge aircraft. Float over the city passing US Cellular field, McCormick Place, and the Museum campus before being wowed by the cityscape aglow. The city lights tour is narrated by the expert pilots, chronicling the history from the times of Fort Dearborn to today. Next customers see Navy Pier jutting into Lake Michigan. Repurposed as a destination for visitors and locals alike, Navy Pier features summertime fireworks twice weekly. The tour extends up the coastline to view Chicago's famous Lincoln Park, Lakeview, and Uptown neighborhoods. After the turn, passengers behold a sky-high view of the Magnificent Mile under the lights. Before heading back to the heliport, passengers get one last view of Millennium Park, Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), Cloud Gate (AKA "The Bean"), and Soldier Field.
