Chicago's famed Discover Boating "Chicago Boat Show" returns to McCormick Place after a three year hiatus. The show, taking place at McCormick Place South, began Wednesday and runs through Sunday.
General admission for the boat show is $15. Children 12 years of age accompanying an adult with a paid ticket can enter for free. Certain activities may require reservations.
The event boasts a number of boat brands, giving potential buyers many options to consider.
For boat lovers, the event offers seminars, along with the chance to explore vintage boats, with the event's "Antique and Classic Boat Display."
For fair weather boating fans, there's plenty to do as well.
The Huck Finn Trout Pond and Chicago Maratime Arts Center's 'Build-A-Boat' competition is an opportunity for children and families to spend time together, and the weekend's Island Party Hut or Beach Bar & Cantina is available to adults.
The show also offers water activities, boasting a new Flow Rider Surf Simulator and Paddlefest Pool.
