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

We were there for the full bloom of tulips. Just beautiful. Parked in their lot for $14, before 10 AM. Good price for downtown Chicago. The bean was fun to see

A nice leisurely walk in one of the most famous American cities, with the amazingness of nature on one side (Lake Michigan) and man-made architectural beauty on the other (Chicago skyline).

A great park, water fountain and plenty of places to people to watch. Some tours use this location as their main headquarters.

Millennium Park has Cloud Gate and lots of other art work, along with a garden. During the summer, there are concerts at the park.

There are some nice art features at Millennium Park, but it is a bit small as a single destination. We enjoyed walking around the park before visiting the Art Institute which made a nice full visit.

Beautiful park that really extenuates the architecture of this city. It was really a great place to relax, I recommend it to everyone spending time in the city. I actually liked it more than Central Park!
