What people say

"Cloud Gate, also known as "The Bean," is a large public sculpture iconic to Chicago. Located in Millennium Park, it is created from polished stainless steel plates, its smooth, mirror-like surface reflecting you and the city's skyline. Free public park open year-round, sometimes the park restricts access when at capacity"
Alexis Garhammer
"Located within Millenium Park. Grab a coffee from Intelligentsia on the other side of Michigan Ave and stroll through the park. Come photo ready for selfies at the bean. "
