Yes it will. We walked from the Bears stadium to the Riverwalk along the Lakefront trail. It was beautiful walking alongside the water.

I did not have a car for my trip. Something you might consider is parking in the outskirts of town where price is not an issue, and utilize public transportation. Pass is $5 for the day. There are train/subway stations within a block of Riverwalk and Millennium Park. Busses probably get you closer. Another suggestion is hop-on, hop-off bus tours. They have stops at both spots you are asking about.

I didn't see any parking garages. If you are just staying in the city I recommend just walking. The fees at hotels to park a vehicle are ridiculous. You can pretty much walk anywhere within the city. Or you can rent a bike, this was very popular. There is also the red line that was great for during the day. I wouldn't ride at night.

Yes. There’s City winery, Tiny Tap and O’Brians on the Riverwalk. They aren’t fancy if that’s what looking for. On Wacker Drive the street you walk down from has Catch 35, Morton’s Steak House, McCormick and Schmick’s. Linen tablecloths and fancier for sure. There’s plenty of restaurants on the walk and above. You’ll find many more when you’re done here. Have Fun hope this heps

The Riverwalk is not a tour - you can go anytime you’d like. Fireworks are just off Navy Pier. You can see them from the east end of the Riverwalk , from Navy Pier or just about anywhere along the lake front during the summer on Wednesday nights at 9:30 and Saturday nights at 10:15. Enjoy!

There are many dogs on the riverwalk, but as another commenter mentioned, not all are dog friendly. Living near here, I do recommend a couple nearby restaurants that are most definitely dog friendly. Near the West end of the Riverwalk at Lake and Wacker, you will find a new Beatrix restaurant that has a front patio that is dog friendly. However, currently it is only open for lunch and if you don't have reservations, you may have to wait until after the lunch rush. If you walk about 4-5 blocks further west, Jefferson Tap and Grill as well as Wishbone both have welcoming patios that always welcome the doggies. Wishbone even has Doggie Ice Cream. Enjoy!

First, the River Walk is not a Tour and yes, there are ramps for accessibility.

There’s a stairway going down near N State Street

I parked at a garage on Randolph St, it was just a half block from Millennium Park next to Qdoba restaurant before you get to wabash st. We paid I think about $23 and was there for several hours and they charge more after a certain time.

HELLO . . . The Riverwalk does not connect to Navy Pier. The Pier is at the eastern end of Illinois Street, the Riverwalk is parallel to Wacker Drive where one finds the bridges crossing the river. There may be free transportation along Illinois street in the form of trolley looking busses that go directly to the pier. They are located beneath Michigan Avenue, also accessible at Illinois and State streets. Cross the river on Michigan, find Illinois street about 2 blocks north, use the Tribune tower as a landmark to Illinois, a one way east bound to the pier. Trolley bus will stop, also the Grand avenue CTA bus will stop along Illinois, look for "bus stop" CTA signage. There is a stairway behind the Tribune / Pioneer court (NBC) down to Illinois. You'll be near the AMC 21 Cinema, also on Illinois. Cross Illinois to catch transit. Hope this is helpful, the weather is perfect for this weekend. Enjoy. (Destination Navy Pier from Riverwalk)
