- Millennium Park Monument. To your left, you will see the peristyle and fountain dedicated to the founders of Millennium Park. These 40-foot, doric-style columns are a replica of the original peristyle erected in 1917.
- Boeing Gallery North. Following the path east around the peristyle, you’ll find the first of two open-air galleries with rotating art exhibits. You never know what you will see as you explore this area.
- Cloud Gate (“The Bean”) This internationally recognized contemporary sculpture by Anish Kapoor might look like its loving nickname, “The Bean”, but completing Cloud Gate was no small task!
- Jay Pritzker Pavilion. When first viewed, the Jay Pritzker Pavillion might be mistaken as one of the many sculptures in Millennium Park. As you exit the North Boeing Gallery, make a left toward the Pavilion.
- Snap a Selfie At the BP Bridge. The BP Bridge connects Millennium Park to Maggie Daley Park and makes for easy access to Columbus Drive. The bridge is right next to the Monroe Street parking garage, so it is the logical first stop on a tour of the park.
- Enjoy Some Music At Jay Pritzker Pavilion. Just like the BP Bridge, the Jay Pritzker Pavilion was designed by Frank Gehry and is made of brushed stainless steel.
- Get Wet at Crown Fountain. Designed by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, the Crown Fountain is a unique tribute to the people of Chicago. The artist was inspired by historic fountains that have gargoyles with water spouting out of their open mouths.
- Appreciate Nature in the Lurie Garden. The 2.5-acre Lurie Garden is a surprisingly tranquil spot due in large part to the 15-foot-high hedge enclosing it on two sides.

The first time I saw Crown Fountain I was equal parts entertained and blown away. This whimsical example of public art/video sculpture brilliance was designed by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa and executed by Krueck and Sexton Architects, making its debut in July 2004. The interactive fountain is composed of a black granite reflecting pool positioned ...
It’s hard not to fall in love with Cloud Gate, aka “The Bean.”Forming a glistening archway into Millennium Park, visitors stroll under the monumental structure and gaze inquisitively upon their distorted reflections. No wonder it’s #1 for selfies! Cloud Gate was created between 2004 and 2006 by Indian-born British artist Sir Anish Kapoor, who was i...
Ok, it’s rare that I have time to grab my Kindle and escape into the realms of fiction. But when I do, my go to spot is beguiling Lurie Garden. Dotted with benched hideaways and a tranquil 5-foot-wide canal along which to sit, bird life thrives in the middle of the city, perching on prairie grasses and patiently watching for random crumbs to fall f...
Maggie Daley Park screams fun – and you don’t have to be a kid to appreciate it. Take the BP Pedestrian Bridge from Millennium Park to reach this lakeside oasis, designed by landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh. The first thing you’ll notice is rollerbladers (and ice-skaters in the winter) gliding down a quarter-of-a-mile (40 km) skating rib...
People flock to the Plaza at Park Grill, and it’s pretty easy to see why. Chicago’s largest outdoor dining venue sits in the shadow of Cloud Gate and at the foot of the Pritzker Pavilion, commanding views both of Millennium Park and the iconic Chicago skyline. It features a large walk-up bar, a casual menu (312 Beer Can Chicken anyone?) and a live ...
Seeing a show at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion is an hypnotic experience. Above you floats a brushed stainless steel canopy that casts an artistic network of shadows across the pavilion’s Great Lawn. Created by notable architect Frank Gehry, the acoustically perfect bandshell is encased in sheets of brushed steel that resemble an aerodynamic tiered hea...
While the Jay Pritzker Pavilion hosts outdoor concerts, movies and shows, Harris Theater provides a jaw-dropping indoor venue for the performing arts. Seating approximately 1500 theater, music, and dance lovers, Harris regularly features acclaimed local companies such as the Joffrey Ballet, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and Chicago Opera Theater. I...
The Boeing Galleries consist of a North Gallery and a South Gallery in which site-responsive, outdoor exhibitions take place throughout the year. Dotted with benches, the galleries are designed for sitting, contemplating and appreciating progressive sculptural installations, past examples of which include Chakaia Booker, Jaume Plensa and Jean-Luc M...
I love the Art Institute of ChicagoModern Wing, not only for its collection of 20th and 21st century art, but for the clean-lined beauty that is the architecture of Renzo Piano. My favorite feature is undoubtedly the Pritzker Garden on the main level. As minimalist and airy as the interior (the perfect backdrop for 2D art), tall, skinny pillars ris...
On the upper level of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Modern Wing you’ll find Terzo Piano, a fabulous restaurant offering a curated menu of elevated Italian-inspired delicacies. Menu items change with the seasons, dictated in part by the locally sourced, farm-to-table ingredients available at any given time of year. Led by noted chef, Tony Mantuano ...
