Millennium Park is cool for many reasons. It's right across from Lake Michigan, and it has the Bean! A great thing about Chicago is that much of the waterfront is adorned by grass and parks, not concrete buildings. Millennium Park is a beautiful park to to do many things. There is a big pavillion to see bands and concerts, many great areas to have picnics, and the Bean!
The Bean is by far the coolest thing to see in Millennium Park, personally. The Bean is a reflective object (shaped like a bean of course), showing skewed images of whoever or whatever is looking into it! The Bean is a major attraction in Chicago both day and night, summer or winter.
I have been to the Bean in both summer and winter, and both day and night. During the day, you can see the Chicago skyline as it reflects off the Bean, and at night you can see the night skyline through the Bean. Trust me, it's a big difference!
Another cool aspect about the Bean is that you can walk into the center of it, which is the picture I have headlining this post. The center of the Bean reminded me of the House of Mirrors you would find at an amusement park. Very cool!
If you visit the Bean in the winter-time, there is an ice-skating rink just below where you can take in the season, or participate in yourself!
