Activity itinerary

Chicago Riverwalk
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Cruise Chicago on a historic Fireboat, the Fred A Busse, Engine 41, on the same waterways where our vessel once fought fires and provided emergency assistance. Our expert tour guides take us from Lake Michigan, through the Chicago locks, and onto the Chicago River. We’ll highlight architecture, history, as well as some of our boat’s history with the city of Chicago and it’s Fire Department. Some would say you’re cruising on on a floating museum, with pictures of our boat in action, firefighting artefacts, and giving a glimpse of what is was like to be a firefighter stationed on the boat during it’s time in service, from 1937 to 1981. Come check it out, we’re looking forward to having you onboard!
