Millennium Park contains many great things to view and take pictures with. One of the coolest things to see is the giant mirrored bean located at the front of the park, its a great spot to take a picture. more

The park is wonderful, despite its high price tag. In addition to the famous "Bean" and water-spurting mouths fountain, don't miss the lovely peristyle and the snakelike bridge over Columbus drive. But if visiting in spring or summer, make a special effort to visit the Lurie gardens, which, while not huge, are spectacular. This is a free attraction and surely... more

This park, though probably a bit too expensive to create, is a great place to check out. There are several examples of public art such as the bean and faces, that are worth examining. There is also a cool bridge, amphitheater, and places to eat. Overall a great place to be on a hot summer day. more

Millennium Park offers a fantastic example of public art and open space against two terrific backdrops – the natural Lake Michigan and the man-made street wall of Michigan Avenue. The lighted Crown Fountain sculpture of faces and fountains is loved by kids, though the water features are turned off in the fall which detracts from the overall impression of the... more

I was in Chicago this past weekend visiting a friend and went to check out Millennium Park. I wasn't sure what to expect - I just heard that I had to visit it. It's a lovely city park, right smack in the downtown of Chicago. Most certainly not as large as New York's Central Park, but it has its own... more

A great place for a respite from the city. There was a good band playing in the music pavilion when we visited here. Also the young people playing at the Crown Fountain were having a great time. The "cloud" sculpture provides a unique photo opportunity. If you are in the area or staying nearby, stop by as it is well... more

This is a wonderful park in the middle of the big city. It has bike riding available as well as a walking/running area. The scultures and fountains are nice also. You can get a guided tour provided by the chicago greeters. It starts at the visitor area. There are also free concerts in a wonderful concert area and a beautiful... more
