Beautiful garden and architectural public space. If the weather is warm, have lunch and cocktails at the outdoor restaurant that is inside the park.

Wow I loved this park I spent hours taking photos (playing tricks with the the Bean, a mirrored statue), also the water installations are so innovative. Also great for a relaxing stroll.

A wonderful place to stroll and visit all the sights and attractions of this park. The gardens were flourishing, the 'Bean' addicting, and we enjoyed how the Serpentine walkway connects to Daley Plaza and to Grant Park.

Modernity smacks you in the face at cloud gate and the amphitheater. Lots of bars and shinies. Never caught a concert but always hoped to.

I live in a resort country area. it's OK, but for Me cities rule.. Millenium Park is extraordinary and exciting. Yes, it is beautiful, but for me complete eye candy. so much going on.

Gorgeous park, great to walk to from the magnificent mile. The bean is so cool! For everyone to enjoy. Located in the far corner of the millenium park, over the BP Bridge and continue toward the water is a playpark for kids.

Grew up in Chicago, but left years before M Park was built. On recent trips "back home" I've had mega fun at the park. I love the Bean, taking lots of photos, watching all the people play with their images. Love the video fountain faces, water spewing out of rounded mouths before moving on to other images. Get a kick... More

Went to see "The Bean" Lots of photos and lots of finger prints on it. Would not recommend touching "The Bean" if you are a germophobic type. The Bean is a good place to stand under if its raining out.

A very pretty walk with water, boats, and lovely gardens close to Palmer House Hilton. Could use some more signs and the bikers tend to be a little aggressive/put out by those not on wheels.
