Chicago Boat Rentals, Beyond the Gallery

My museum habit is to choose one thread and leave room to look. At Chicago Boat Rentals, that thread is the river, not an indoor exhibition. The operator rents pontoons and offers chartered yachts from 1115 W Division St, Chicago, IL 60642, USA. Think of this as time on the water, not another gallery to work through.

For an indoor collection, Chicago Maritime Museum follows the city's waterways through model ships, navigational instruments and artwork. Polish Museum of America brings fine art, folk art and historical artifacts into the frame. The Escape Game Chicago at River North is a puzzle-led experience, while Wateriders at Northwest -- Chicago River Kayak Tours and Rentals and Bobby's Bike Hike - Chicago Bike, Walking & Food Tours keep the focus on paddling or guided city exploration. These are separate Chicago ideas, not a timed route.

Check the operator's current schedule before making a plan.
