I am wondering if and where is a good place for a day slip in any of Chicago's harbors. I would like to take my son to a cubs game and would like to take the boat across for the day. I googled wrigley and it looks like Belmont is the closest harbor and even looks like it is in walking distance. This would be during the week and not on a weekend if that matters. I am not against taking a cab from another harbor farther away either. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Dan

Pick your harbor... I'd say montrose or belmont would be the closest.

Thanks for the info. That might work out well because the game I am thinking about going to is on the 16th of May. Shouldn't be crowded that early I hope.

if you go on a weekday then any of the harbors are fine....during a weekend.....i personaly would tend to stay out of Montrose....only because Wilson Park which is right next to the harbor tends to get crazy packed on the weekends and me personaly, i can only stand so much mariachi (sp?)music! :rolleyes:

Agreed - shoot for Belmont Harbor as your first choice.
