Probably one of the most-reviewed items on TripAdvisor
Aug 2022
There is not much to say - just look at the photos (if you have a day or two to peruse them al!). Artwork installations are something else.

The Bean
Jan 2023
I mean, don't you need to visit the Bean while in Chicago? It was fun, and worth the visit, especially as the location is so close to so much.

Loved it... wish I'd seen more.
Sep 2022
What a lovely place, right in the heart of the city. There's more to this place than Cloud Gate, but that was the reason I wanted to go.
I feel that we barely scratched the surface of the park but just wandering around was a really pleasant and relaxing experience. Would love to go again.

Lots of public art
Sep 2022
Not a huge park but packs a lot in. The Cloud Gate, Coffee Bean, is the most famous but there's plenty more to enjoy.

A Magical Oasis in the City
Dec 2022
Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, this park is beautiful. I love that it is very accessible to patrons with mobility challenges. The Bean is gorgeous, and the Christmas tree was stunning.

The Real Deal Says this is the best free attraction in the Chicago area
Jul 2022
Not only is this a great park but the reflecting sculpture makes for hundreds of interesting photos. Imagine an entire fun house outdoors with great scenery around it. There are a ton of free things and for money around the or in the park including a hiddenminiature golf area. You will love this park if you are single, in love or with a big family. Come and enjoy.
