I love parks. They are the best of public spaces because they combine so many elements that attract so different types of: Sculptures, monuments, fountains, performance venues, gardens, sports areas, playgrounds attract art lovers, history buffs, music fans, gardeners, jocks, kids and others. Millennium Park takes all the conventional features of popular parks and moves them into the 21st century.

It is a park for the way we are today.

I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite feature. I love the free-from Pritzker Pavilion - love the way Frank Gehry bends and twists metal. Cloud Gate is inspired - it's so much fun to "find yourself in the bean." The gardens are lovely. The fountains are incredible. The walks, the paths, the visitors, the locals - wow! This is a gem of a place to wander and people watch.

The park has everthing...cool fountains, iconic sculturse, a lovely garden across from the great Art Institute. How can this not be the #1 sight in Chicago? We saw an amazing Beethoven concert in the super cool pavillion..and it was free.

Great park, lots of art, fun and play.
The bean is a wonderful sculpture, best seen before sunrise, when the light is wonderful soft and gloomy.... and no people around either!

A nice park to visit while in Chicago. Lots of places to take pictures. This park was bigger than I thought it would be. I think if you come to Chicago in the warm months this is a must see.
