Millennium Park, Chicago

Let's be honest, most people come here for the Cloud Gate aka "The Bean" . It's nice. People love to take selfies in it. It's fun for everyone. The pavilion is nice looking, but they rope off the grass which is unfortunate. I would love if we were able to just go sit in the grass. Why wouldn't you use it? When it's warm, the fountains are a great way to cool off even though I personally find the faces a bit disconcerting. If you are visiting the city, I would definitely take some time to come here.

This iconic park lives up to its reputation. I visited in fall and the foliage was beautiful. This is of course where you find the famous "bean" sculpture, but the whole park is really lovely. You could spend a whole afternoon just walking around the different corners of this park.

It's a very lively, active area with amazing artwork hiding here and there. There are flower gardens, luscious peaceful walkways, the bean, the tall talking fountains and other works of art in the park worth checking out. It's very much worth it!

Millennium Park is a great area on the east side of the loop right off one of the major business districts downtown and north of some of the more laid back condo buildings in the city. Great for tourists, those enjoying a lunch outside from work, or those that live in the area. There are both places to eat, walk, and sit to enjoy your meal A ton of events can occur in this park from yoga to meetings to more. A great area of the city that is just close enough to get to by foot for many but just far enough away from major parking that it doesn't tend to be overly packed most weekdays. A great example of why Chicago is such a great city.

Gorgeous place, lush Garden's. Wonderful play areas for children, various musical artists. Of course The famous Bean sculpture, water area for kids or grownups to splash and cool off. Great for walking or running. Simply fabulous place in the City!
