The weather from day to day may not always confirm it, but there’s no doubt that spring has arrived in Chicago. Looking for a sure sign? Check out the waters of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River, where the forbidding ice floes of just several weeks ago have been replaced in increasing numbers by the welcoming tour boats that signal the unmistakable imminence of summer. Many of those boats, of course, will be the familiar Wendella vessels that have been plying the city’s waterways since 1935. Seven days a week, visitors can learn about Chicago’s rich architectural history and take in the stunning beauty of the city’s skyline aboard one of Wendella’s lively and informative tours. So cruise into spring this week aboard a Wendella lake or river tour departing from the company’s Michigan Avenue Bridge (400 N. Michigan) and Trump Tower (401 N. Wabash) docks. Cruise times vary and range in price from $19-$35.50. Call 312.337.1446 for a full schedule and more information. 4
