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

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.

This was a fun place to walk through and enjoy the day at. I enjoyed the flowers in bloom, they were lovely. The workers were helpful and nice.

There was so much to see walking round this park that we spent a good hour and a half just going round taking some nice photos! Well worth the walk round - the bean and the fountains were spectacular and the Gardens and concert venue were well worth a look too! Best still, it's free to wonder round so you... More

Want to see great art, architecture and sculpture? This is the place. Save some of your camera battery for the Bean. You"ll be mesmerized by this one of a kind sculpture and you can't resist taking photo after photo. You have to see it to believe the ever-changing perspective of people and the Chicago cityscape. Unusual fountains and art await... More

We were in town celebrating a graduation, and had two young children with our group. The day was sunshine and 85 degrees, and the water towers in the middle of the park were a huge hit. All of us were amazed with the sculpture of the "Bean" as well. Places like Millennium Park prove that Chicago is so much more... More

The park is a nice place to chill out in central Chicago and we particularly enjoyed the Kapur "bean" When we visited a choir were singing under it and the acoustics were fantastic
