A visit to the museum is a must, for everyone - young and old alike....and then you step outside! The park, in the heart of the city, surrounded by "big city architecture" is a happy place for the entire family - particularly in the warm months when the fountains are alive with the laughter of children playing and the laughter...

Chicago vacation and took a stroll over to the park. The grounds a beautiful and the flowers were in bloom. Plenty of people roaming around but it's there's so much room to roam

I think this park is a great gift from ex- mayor to Chicago's citizens. Most of all I like the Chicago bean and it is one of the world's most famous Chicago's attractions. The park is very clean and convenient. There are a lot of stores around where you can buy water and ice cream to enjoy the park in... More

Don't miss the giant steel ellipse called cloud gate and the beautiful grounds. A great place to walk around on a nice day!

Art in the park! Check this out! Young and old will love it. Be sure to take your camera. Great skyline shots in the reflection of the bean.

This park puts Chicago on the map as a world-class city. Go there to ogle at 'the bean' (Cloud Gate sculpture), cool off by Crown Fountain (kids can put their bathing suits on and get really wet), and be invigorated by the architectural backdrop of Chicago's high rises. In May, this and nearby Grant Park erupt in blooming trees and... More

The first place I visited during my first time in the windy city. The experience at the famous "bean" was amazing and fun. The stainless steel architecture was awe inspiring, interesting and fun all at the same time. Will surely be there again.

If you're looking for the "bean" - look no further! This iconic sculpture is located in the park and is a must see if visiting Chicago. Millennium Park is centrally located in the city and is within walking distance from the loop, one of the visitors centers, and Michigan Ave. The art museum is also located in the park and... More

The Bean is the highlight of the park and it was truly exceptional. Great pictures, especially when the sun was setting. You WILL get dizzy when you walk under it.
