Looking for love in all the wrong places? Consider making your next love connection 200 feet in the air during a truly unique Valentine’s Day event at Navy Pier. On February 9, local singles are invited to step out of their comfort zones and onto the Centennial Wheel for a speed dating event unlike any other. During the event, one to two couples will board each cabin on the Ferris wheel and spend one-full rotation getting to know their potential next partner. Afterwards, they will move on to the subsequent gondola for their next date. The event runs from 7 to 9pm, with a special cocktail reception in the Tiny Tavern during the first hour. Valentine’s Day-themed drink specials and appetizers will be included with the $40 admission. (MORE HERE)
