It’s the most wonderful time at the Pier as Chicago’s iconic lakefront destination transforms its Festival Hall into a dazzling indoor wonderland! Fifth Third Bank Winter WonderFest, the Midwest’s popular winter tradition, is set to return with 170,000 square feet of holiday-themed fun over the span of five weeks, starting Friday, November 30, 2018 and running through Sunday, January 6, 2019. At Fifth Third Bank Winter WonderFest, guests can expect to be greeted by festive décor and a glittering forest of nearly 500 trees decorated with 25,000 ornaments hung on a mile of wire. Under the shimmering white lights and across the wintery blue carpet that blankets Navy Pier’s Festival Hall lies dozens of activities and attractions – from the ever-popular indoor ice skating rink, to the Polar Extreme Obstacle Course.
