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.

You’ll find entertainment aplenty at

Millennium Park, so come on out and

enjoy the free park happenings.

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.

Boeing Galleries: A home for modern and contemporary art, where visitors can directly

experience the work and ideas of living artists.

Chase Promenade: A beautiful tree lined three-block-long walkway that spans the length

of 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

year-round.

Excelon Pavilions: Are an integral part of Chicago’s efforts to become the most environmental-

ly-friendly city in North America. Together, the Pavilions provide enough electricity annually to

power 14 star-rated energy-efficient houses in Chicago.

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.

Presented by

Millennium Park is accesible via the CTA #3, #4, #151 and #157 buses.16 keymagazinechicago.com

Millennium Park

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).

Nichols Bridgeway: The newest addition to Millennium Park is the 625-foot pedestrian bridge

that links the Park to The Art Institute of Chicago’s Modern Wing

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

Monument, a nearly full-sized replica of the original peristyle that stood in the same location

between 1917 and 1953.

F R E E H A P P E N I N G SFree Wi-Fi: Bring your laptop to the park, and enjoy free, ultra-high-speed wireless service.

Self-Guided Audio Tour: Travel at your own pace and listen as the masterminds behind the

world’s most spectacular new public space—architect Frank Gehry and artists Anish Kapoor and

Jaume Plensa—recount how and why Millennium Park was built and the secrets that lie beneath.
