Queen's Landing is a concrete pier on the shore of Lake Michigan, east of Lake Shore Drive, across from Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois, United States. It takes its name from being the site where Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh disembarked from a royal barge in 1959 during the first visit by a reigning British monarch to Chicago.^[1]
