Visitor Information:
A true gem located on a 91-acre peninsular piece of land surrounded by Lake Michigan to the south and east and Burnham Harbor to the west. Just southwest of the Museum Campus and directly east of Soldier Field. The Visitors Center is the former terminal building when the area was Meigs Field. The nature area at Northerly Island features beautiful strolling paths, casual play areas and a spectacular view of the Chicago skyline. It is also home to some of the best fishing in Chicago. In June 2005, a temporary, yet state-of-the-art concert venue was built at the northern end of the island. The 7,500 seat Charter One Pavilion hosts concerts from some of today's most popular artists along with family matinee events.
Hours:
The Northerly Island fieldhouse is open daily from 9am to 5pm. Staff is available during these hours to answer questions about the island and provide information on a discovery tour.
