Millennium Park
(7 tickets)
A landmark gathering place for locals and visitors who come to admire the unique art, architecture and landscape. Millennium Park is a 25-acre (10 hectare) park in the central Loop. Locals and tourists gather year-round for concerts, biking and jogging and to admire the sculptures dotting the landscape. Conveniently located near other attractions, it's easy to combine a walk through the park with a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago or shopping along the Magnificent Mile. If you are visiting between the end of spring and early fall, enjoy an outdoor concert (often free) at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. The centerpiece of the park is Wrigley Square, an inviting tree-lined area where visitors relax on the lawn or stroll along the paths. This is where you'll find the spectacular Millennium Monument, a 40-foot high semicircle of Greek Doric-style columns.
