Millennium Park Reviews
Fantastic site in the city Jun 02, 2009
The Millennium Park in Chicago is a really fantastic place to take a break after some hours of intensive sightseeing or shopping in Chicago.
The park has everything, great architecture, nice vegetation, lawns to lay down in the sun and much more. What makes the park stand out in comparison to other parks in Chicago and parks in other cities around the world, are the pieces of modern art situated in the park. Examples of this modern art are The Cloud Gate Sculpture, a shiny sort of bean shaped image, The Crown fountain, a beautiful waterwall with pictures projected on it, The BP bridge, a curved path over Columbus drive. These are only a few of the many artistic works in the park. I would really recommend that if you are in Chicago you visit this wonderfull park in the middle of the city. It is really nice to eat your lunch or rest after a day of fierce slandering. |

Fun in the park May 08, 2009
Millennium park is a place to relax, take a stroll, watch people and admire 'The bean'.
The park is just next to the Loop(downtown Chicago)and is a fun place. An artist made a giant 'bean', which reflects it's surroundings. Cloud gate is the official name. It's very beautiful and fun to walk around. There is also a fountain with pictures(you have to go see for yourself) and a big stage and lawn. Have fun! |

nice place to visit, captures chicago. the bean is the best! Sep 02, 2008
i loved Millenium Park. The reflective bean is quite the attraction and is pretty remarkable. When you look at it from a distance it blends into the sky. Then when you get up close it's fun to look at all the warped reflections, especially on the inside. I went on kind of a cloudy day, so I bet the whole park is really nice on a Sunny Day. I liked the face fountains there too. I like modern art!

Walking around Millennium Park was loads of fun and interesting. I sat down for awhile to watch the Crown Fountain which changes every 10 minutes or so, sometimes sprouting out water. I stopped by the Cloud Gate to take some pictures of my reflection... And strolled through Lurie Garden. A fairly new park, but it lives up to its reputation.

So, we catch the bus to Millennium Park! Wow...beautiful, especially the Bean! I absolutely LOVE the Bean! Also at Millennium Park is the amphitheater, a skating rink (during the winter) and some shops and an eatery (the Park Cafe, I think). We were told later that there were two walls… Freezing, snowing...and in a brace! Welcome to Chicago! |

At the Millennium Park is also an outdoor concert hall designed by the famed architect Frank Gehry, and a "serpentine bridge" connecting the park to Daley Bicentennial Plaza. The 925-foot bridge provides great vintage points to enjoy the Chicago skyline, and is a joy to look… Millennium Park and the "bean" |

But I was determined to ice-skate at the Millennium Park, and there I was standing diligently in the cold with other people who did not bring/have their skates to the park. The park people had to regulate people who were in line and those who were already in the rink. They also had to estimate… Ice-skating at the Millennium Park, Chicago, IL |

Millennium Park. I walked through Millennium Park and remembered how dirty this place had once been. Now it's filled with artwork, beautiful landscaping, wildflowers and water features. It's so much better now. I reached Buckingham Fountain and watched some planes that were practicing… Wandering aimlessly in Chicago |
