Which Centennial Wheel combo to book
Architecture fans. Chicago's river cruises are the city's classic first-day activity, and most wheel combos here add one. Navy Pier Centennial Wheel + Architecture River Cruise Navy Pier is the best value and leaves from the pier itself, so you ride the wheel and board the boat without moving. Navy Pier Centennial Wheel + Wendella's Lake & River Tour runs longer and covers the lakefront skyline too; it's one of the best-rated combos here. Navy Pier Centennial Wheel + Lake Michigan & Chicago River is a similar longer cruise. The 45-Minute Chicago River Cruise bundle is the most booked and suits a short stay.
View-chasers. Skydeck Chicago + Navy Pier Centennial Wheel pairs the wheel with the glass ledges at Willis Tower in the Loop. Reviews are mixed, and the two are a bus or taxi ride apart, so give each its own half-day.
Families. Navy Pier Centennial Wheel + Flyover at Navy Pier keeps you on the pier: a ride on the wheel, then the Flyover flight-simulation ride over Chicago. It's an easy plan with kids.

Is a combo cheaper than separate tickets?
The bundles here are a little cheaper than buying both tickets separately, around 5%. The architecture cruise from Navy Pier saves around 10%. The gain is modest; the real value is one checkout and both times fixed.
How the tickets work
You book once and get a separate ticket for each part on your phone. Choose a date and time for each one, and check the departure dock for the cruise. River cruises run on set departures and may not operate in the coldest months, so check dates when you book. Cancellation conditions can differ per part, so check them on the booking page.
