Maybe the beginning of March just isn't the time to visit Millenium Park. I figured that it wouldn't be as beautiful as it would be in the summer, but I thought there would something to look at. Well there was- the bean. That's it, just the bean. The faces on the brick walls were not operating, the fountain wasn't on, the skating rink wasn't open, so a huge disappointment. Do not go out of your way to visit Millenium Park during any winter months.

Millennium Park contains many great things to view and take pictures with. One of the coolest things to see is the giant mirrored bean located at the front of the park, its a great spot to take a picture.

Even in winter - this is awesome - see my other review of the Shedd Aquarium - as that is not worth the money - and this is FREE - awesome sculptures - and guess what - if you dont like it - you didnt lose a dime.

Nice place - clean - and worth it.

The park is wonderful, despite its high price tag. In addition to the famous "Bean" and water-spurting mouths fountain, don't miss the lovely peristyle and the snakelike bridge over Columbus drive. But if visiting in spring or summer, make a special effort to visit the Lurie gardens, which, while not huge, are spectacular.

This is a free attraction and surely will become of the top ones in Chicago.

This park, though probably a bit too expensive to create, is a great place to check out. There are several examples of public art such as the bean and faces, that are worth examining. There is also a cool bridge, amphitheater, and places to eat. Overall a great place to be on a hot summer day.
