Tall Ships Chicago 2013 at Navy Pier on August 8–11 (Up to 56% Off). Three Options Available.
Children's (age 3-12) dockside boarding tickets are $11 when purchased directly from Tall Ships Chicago, so you would only need to purchase the Groupon deal for the adults in your party.
The dockside boarding tickets allow you to board and tour participating boats. There is also a general admission ticket for $5 (adult or child) which does not allow you to board/tour the boats that can be purchased from Tall Ships Chicago.
If you are planning to head to Navy Pier, you can also pre-purchase ride tickets for attractions like the Ferris Wheel, Web Wave Swinger, Miniature Golf, and the Light Tower Ride.
