Private helicopter tour in Chicago

Discover the Windy City from the sky

The private helicopter tour in Chicago is an exceptional way to see the city from a unique perspective. Depending on the selected option, during a 10- or 20-minute flight, you’ll soar over the city’s famous skyline and the surrounding areas of Illinois. Departing from the downtown Chicago heliport, the experience begins with a safety briefing, followed by takeoff over Lake Michigan. Soon after, the view opens onto Chicago’s most iconic neighborhoods — the Loop, Lincoln Park, Grant Park — and the skyscrapers lining the Chicago River. Your experienced and passionate pilot provides commentary and shares stories about the city’s landmarks, from Wrigley Field to the United Center, passing over 31st Street Harbor and the beaches along Lake Michigan.

The 10-minute option focuses on downtown Chicago and offers views of landmarks including Soldier Field, the Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Grant Park, Willis Tower, the John Hancock Center, Millennium Park, Navy Pier, and the United Center. The 20-minute option follows a longer route along Lake Michigan. It passes the Museum Campus before continuing south toward Hyde Park and the Museum of Science and Industry, then heads north toward Navy Pier, Montrose Harbor, Lincoln Park, and Wrigley Field.
