With 25 acres of awe-inspiring landscape, breathtaking architecture and an iconic collection of public art, Millennium Park is Chicago’s premier green space.Millennium Park celebrated its 10th anniversary season in 2014 with dozens of free events and programs including new art installations, outdoor concerts, films screenings and more. This fall and winter season, the fun continues with ice skating and holiday caroling in the park.

Don’t miss “The Bean,” an eye-catching favorite year round. Take a picture in front of Cloud Gate, the official name for this massive, stainless steel structure that’s become Chicago’s signature landmark. In its mirror-like surface you’ll see not only your own reflection, but the stunning downtown skyline.

Also in Millennium Park, escape into Lurie Garden, a four-seasons urban oasis that pays homage to Chicago’s motto — “Urbs in Horto,” or City in a Garden. Stand beneath Crown Fountain, two 50-foot towers that reflect the faces of Chicago. And warm up and refuel with hot cocoa, food and other goodies at the restaurant Park Grill.
