Public transportation is the best way to reach Millennium park, as parking is expensive around the park. A visit to The Cloud Gate, aka "The Bean," is a must.

• Pack a picnic before heading to Millennium park; enjoy the city skyline view on one side and the lake on the other while having your favorite snack/food.
• Check out the free Chicago Jazz music festival if visiting during labor day and the free movies in the park on a massive screen at Jay Pritzker Pavilion from mid-summer through early fall. Visit: https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/dca/supp_info/mp_calendar.html for additional details.
• DCASE (Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events) offers an outdoor walking tour on the first and third Saturday of the month featuring public art in and around Millennium park.
• Park is windy and frigid during winter; dress accordingly.
