Chicago River Party Barge Cruise Experience

The Party Barge is a unique way to cruise the Chicago River. The boat features a u-shaped bar, surrounded by bar stools. The boat is equipped with a head (bathroom), USB charging ports, additional seating at the bow and coolers with ice. All cruises are BYOB, 120-minutes long and depart from the Chicago Riverwalk (between the LaSalle Street and Wells Street bridges).
For our public cruises, kids MUST have a ticket. For children aged 0-5, tickets are $30. Kids 6-18 will have the regular ticket price.

Get ready to experience the city like never before as we cruise the river and discover topics like:
