Beautiful park that really extenuates the architecture of this city. It was really a great place to relax, I recommend it to everyone spending time in the city. I actually liked it more than Central Park!

The flowers were absolutely gorgeous. The faces and colors by the fountain fascinating. Great place to people watch, too.

The park is free to wander around and the 'bean' allows you to get a photo of yourself with its great reflection. You should definitely make time to go.

If you are in this area, you must stop by "The Bean" art sculpture! It is an awesome art piece that makes everyone smile who comes upon it. I've seen many photos of this previously, but did not realize the impact it makes in person with everyone who looks at it.

It's amazing how much space this park occupies, and how much more space it will occupy once the green area adjacent to Lurie Park is built out. Very impressive and a must-see for every visitor.

This is a great area regardless of the time of year you visit Chicago. The "cloud" (bean) is fantastic and truly unique as a piece of "art". I have assembled an entire calendar of pictures taken at various times of the day/year at the park, and it is one of my favorite personal pieces of "art". With so many dining... More

What a beautiful park and we fortunately were able to visit on a beautiful sunny day. There was some sort of large dog? display but it was blocked off = that was a little disappointing.
