Nay Pier has a number of activities, events all year long. The only areas that I know of that close for the winter are a couple of rides that they have there. Take a look at their website for additional information. http://www.navypier.com/

The first fireworks displays usually start in early April.

Hi,
Thank you for traveling! I have visited Navy Pier all months of the year and have not noticed anything closed - so go for it, enjoy your visit!

I was there in mid-May a couple of years ago and many of the rides were not operating. But it was also freaking cold when I was out there, so that may have had something to do with it.
That free trolley that goes from the pier to Downtown also only operates after Memorial Day.
