Not just a park but a green space with several exciting areas, Millennium Park can attract anyone seeking a break from the city on Lake Michigan and has activities both for summer and winter.
Millennium Park was - unsurprisingly - supposed to open in 2000, but because of financial problems, the Park did not open until 2004. It lies to the south of the city, and has become one of the prime sights of the Windy City. In winter, you can skate here, in summer, it is a great place to have something to eat outside. You can go for a stroll in Lurie Garden, you can use the bridge to the Art Institute of Chicago (from where you have a great view over Millennium Park and the skyline of Chicago), and enjoy some outdoor art. One of the most striking examples is the Crown Fountain designed by Jaume Plensa: two square towers, separated by a black granite floor, from which water runs down in summer, providing a refreshing shower for whoever dares to stand under it - a favourite for children seeking to cool down. What is more: LEDs inside the glass-brick towers emit faces of Chicagoans and natural scenes; every now and then, water spouts from the lower part of the towers onto the exhilarated crowd below.
