What To Expect

Join Chicago Movie Tours on the Midway, and discover the city's film history in an entirely new way!

On this leisurely 75-minute walking tour led by a Ph.D. in film, you'll visit 5 spots on the historic Midway Plaisance, once the heart of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. As you walk the now-grassy strip (0.5 mi.), you'll discover its many connections to early and modern cinema.

Guests must digitally sign a general waiver of liability either before or when they arrive. Guardians must sign waivers for children under the age of 18.

Note: This limited Chicago movie tour is available on Sunday mornings to give you the most accurate and unobstructed view of the Midway's monumental sculpture Fountain of Time.
