Millennium Park is accesible via the CTA #3, #4, #151 and #157 buses.

From beautiful landscapes to monumental architecture to iconic

sculpture, Millennium Park is truly a 21st century creation.

Chicago’s civic gem is a 24.5-acre oasis in the heart of

downtown. Don’t miss the Park’s Jun Kaneko art exhibition,

which is comprised of his signature dangos, meaning

“round form” or “dumpling” in Japanese. The exhibit is

located in the North Boeing Gallery.

M U S T S E E A T T R A C T I O N S

BP Bridge: Take the long way across Columbus Drive to

Daley Bicentennial Plaza via Frank Gehry’s whimsically

serpentine steel creation.

Chase Promenade: A beautiful tree lined three-block-long

walkway that spans the length of the Millennium Park.

Cloud Gate: The brilliant stainless steel curves of what has affectionately become known

as “the Bean” mirrors both the skyline above and curious onlookers below.

Crown Fountain: These towering waterfall bookends bear digital images of actual Chicagoans!

Jay Pritzker Pavilion: Architect Frank Gehry’s bold outdoor band shell, with its soaring steel

ribbons and state-of-the-art canopied sound system over the lawn, is a breathtaking design.

Lurie Gardens: A 2.5–acre paradise for green-loving urbanites, this collection of flora brings

to life Chicago’s motto “Urbs in Horto” (City in a Garden).

Wrigley Square and Millennium Monument: The Square is anchored by the Millennium

Monument, a replica of the original peristyle that stood in the same location from 1917 to 1953.

field of monumental ceramic sculpture. His large

ceramic steles are covered in a variety of vibrant

shapes, patters and colors and allow viewers to

focus on his scale and their placement. His work

is on display through Nov. 3, 2013.
