Review:

Millennium Park is a 24.5-acre public park and civic center near Grant Park and the Lake Michigan shoreline that was originally developed in 1997 and opened to the public in 2004, intended to honor the start of the 21st century and new millennium. Since 2017, the park has become the American Midwest's top tourist attraction, surpassing the city's Navy Pier entertainment complex with a total of more than 25 million annual visitors. Major park features include the Jay Pritzker Pavilion bandshell, the Crown Fountain interactive public art piece, the AT&T Plaza, which is home to the city's famed Cloud Gate reflective sculpture, and the 2.5-acre Lurie Garden. During the winter months, the park is also home to the McCormick Tribune Ice Skating Rink and the city's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Other public special events at the park include a summer outdoor film series, a summer concert series, and public park tours.
