We visited this beautiful park in the day and would love to return at night some day. It is spotlessly clean, not too crowded and has lots of room to stroll, take in the flowers, shady areas to read, outdoor cafes and a bar for eating and drinking. Take a picture of you and your group staring at the "Bean",... More

Millennium Park is awesome! There is so much to see and do. The architecture is amazing. Cloud Gate, the fountain of faces, and the amphitheater are just a few of the places to see. It's in the heart of downtown and it wasn't overly crowded. We were there on a Saturday and the Nato conference was taking place. It was... More

I love the park. We have gone in both the summer and winter. The "Bean" and "Faces of Chicago" are a must see. I saw them in the evening for the first time this May and it is gorgeous. More

When you go to Chicago, you have to see the bean whether you want to or not. I mean, If you really want to see it you will enjoy it but not as much as you would hope. If you don't want to see it at all, you will most likely like it more then you think. It is really... More

Being from a Chicago Suburb, I don't often take the time to do touristy things while in the City. While entertaining guests from out of town, we decided to walk through Millenium Park to see the Bean, Water Fall Faces, Ampitheater and Bridges. It is a beautiful park to walk around in. I wouldn't mind stopping for a drink sometime... More
