Cloud gate or "the bean" is another must see attraction in Chicago. It's great for picture taking and the view of the city behind the sculpture is great. Definitely stop by the bean next time you visit the place. Also, the park is a great place to walk around.

The bean is an iconic place in Chicago (Millenium Park). Take a picture right here to assure your Chicago trip.

This "bean" is such an ideal spot for pics..and at the right angle can get the city in the background with the reflection! It just seems to draw people right to it :) ty for the memories!!

The cloud gate is probably one of the best and certainly the most unique pieces of art I have visited and is definitely worth a visit when in Chicago. There is loads of different types of photo opportunities to be had and its located right in Millennium Park which is a sight in itself. I came here with my friend... More

We were wowed by the huge Cloud aka the bean. My girls loved making faces in the bean as I captured there photo. The bean is located in a very sunny place with little shade so make sure you bring sunscreen on hot sunny days. Also they had live music in the park. Great family outing and its free.

Love the public art in Chicago. "The Bean" is cool. What's cooler is that Chicago was progressive enough and had the forsight to see this sculpture.

You've seen all the photos of the bean, but it is so fun to takes pics of yourself and the people you are with. Great chance to be silly or serious. The reflections of the bean allow endless ideas to be tried. Kids love it too. Try early morning or cloudy days for smaller crowds.

Cloud Gate, affectionately or irreverently called "The Bean", is a modern sculpture in Millennium Park that is a real photo op. Not to be missed when visiting Millennium Park.

This is officially called Cloud Gate but known as the Bean. Lots of fun looking at you, your group, other groups but especially of the buildings of Chicago's Michigan Avenue.
