A recent study conducted by Family Destinations Guide named Chicago’s Millennium park as one of the nation’s top tourist destinations. The study compiled US tourist attractions with the highest overall ratings, placing Millennium park among the top ten.

More than 70% of Millennium Park’s 25 million annual visitors rated the park as “excellent” according to Tripadvisor. Reviews of the park note its exceptional walkability, beauty, and proximity to Chicago’s famed public art attraction “Cloud Gate,” or as it has come to be known,“The Bean.”

With summer just around the corner, Millennium Park has a host of outdoor events planned for the coming season. Beginning in April, the park will offer walking art tours every other weekend, covering 7 public pieces within the park’s campus.

The spring and summer seasons bring a stacked lineup of music events, including the Chicago Blues, Jazz, and Gospel Festivals. See what other exciting events are planned for Millennium Park in 2023.
