We had the opportunity to attend a free concert featuring Jeff Tweedy. at the 3rd Annual Growing Hope Concert . The concert's mission was to spread kindness and joy. The check in was super easy and fast. This was a standing only event , and the sound quality was excellent. Gallagher way was a great venue for this event. The bars were open for drinks and light snacks, chips and pretzels. There was a large video board which was used to post pictures from the event. I have been to Gallagher way many times ; before and after Cubs games and markets, but it is usually so crowded I was unable to take the time to notice it is truly a community gathering space, surrounded by a variety of restaurants and honoring Cubs Hall of Famers. It was very special to view the Ryan Sandburg statue. A wonderful addition to Wrigley and the neighborhood. read more

Located on the west side of Wrigley Field,Gallagher Way is a great open space for people to gather around before ,during and after a ballgame. Surrounded by restaurants and bars,it offers a little bit of something for everyone. They also hold various events thru out the year. One of the highlights of Gallagher Way is seeing the beautiful sculptured statues of some of the Cubs greats! You do have to show your game ticket to enter Gallagher Way on game days. Definitely a place to visit when in Wrigleyville. read more

Skate rentals for adults ere around $25 each. If you are only there for a short amount of time, ask about the zambino schedule because it takes around 25 minutes. Medium (small-ish) rink. There are little penguin helpers for people who are learning to skate. read more

Had to go pay my respects to Ryno before today's game. His statue captures him perfectly. There will never be another like 23. Gallagher Way is a wonderful addition to the Wrigley Field experience. read more

I attended a corporate event at Gallagher Way.  It was basically a company summer party hosted by Kraft Heintz, and it was big event with a lot of food and drinks, a live band, and numerous fun family activities.  Gallagher Way was a great venue for the private event and the Cubs were obviously on the road.  Besides the Gallagher Way plaza, about 1/2 of the Wrigley Field indoor concourse was also used for various food and drink offerings.  The event's capacity was 2000 people and it was a very comfortable occupancy.  I don't know what it all cost, but it had to be a pretty penny.  It certainly must help for Kraft Heintz to be the official condiment supplier for the Cubs, and for them to have some priority access to the venue. Great venue to consider though if you're an eligible big company party planner! read more

This review is going to be for the movies in the park at Gallagher Way. I have been to several over the past few years and for the most part it is a great experience! I'll start with the good. The faux grass is always even and clean, so you can throw a blanket down to enjoy the movie. You cannot put lawn chairs on the grass part which I actually like so that people on the grass area can see (though the screen is so high it's not a big concern). The screen is large and bright, and the sound is always clear (though they do turn on subtitles as well). You can bring your own food in, which I love, and there are tons of places to grab stuff in the area. They do have a concession stand as well with a very small selection of snacks, ice cream, alcoholic drinks, and sodas / water. There's also a pre-set up section with chairs you can pay to reserve so you don't have to bring anything in. The biggest downside is the bathroom situation - they are outside of the main movie area and there are only 2-3 stalls (technically 3 but last night the door was missing from one..) in each restroom, which can lead to a very long, cramped wait sometimes. They are clean and well stocked though. I would also recommend getting there pretty early, the area can fill up pretty quickly. We usually get there an hour or so before the movie starts and even then sometimes struggle to find a good spot depending on the weather / movie. But for the most part I love going and it's a fun way to spend a Wednesday evening! read more

Had an awesome time at Harvest Fest. We wanted to get out of the house on a beautiful fall day. Opted to go hang out in Wrigleyville. On this occasion there was a very good vendors onsite. We grabbed some yummy rum cake and was very impressed by the engraved business. Lots of vendors out here. We grabbed boozy cider with options for whiskey or rum as a chaser. Once in the plaza we decided to do the Wrigley Field tour. So worth the money. We had an excellent time in this area and look forward to participating in further events in Gallagher Way. read more

Website not clear in skating times. Showed up, no skating. Opted for bumper cars. We were told no riding together, but my daughter was too shy to drive her own. The website actually had pictures of kids riding with parents. No food or drinks. "Wonderland" is a gigantic overstatement. read more

After leaving the game, we decide to hang here for a bit & watch the ending of the game just because why not. U need your game ticket to get access I assume u can go w out? But not really sure since we had our game tickets. Nice looking space, grass field for kids to play , siting area , you can grab some food & drinks & just hang here. There's a cubs store for some souvenir shopping , it's a nice area we enjoyed the rest of the game here. read more

Gallagher Way Chicago is a great addition to Wrigley Field. This is a park and shopping district right outside of Wrigley Field. This area contains a grass field for children to play in and statues of Chicago Cub legends for fans to take pictures in front of. Thanks to the Chicago Cubs for adding a little bit of calm and beauty to the city. read more

got to watch twilight movie for free! hold on spider loca! During the movie I became increasingly jealous of those with the paid seats. they got food and drinks and service. i would imagine that if I had paid for that, then I would receive the same service. gf did NOT appreciate the vampire fangs, but it was simply a harmless joke involving props. i wouldn't even say it crossed into prank territory. read more

This review is long overdue with the amount of time I spend at Gallagher Way. While sure, it's a great patch of grass to hang out on before or after a Cubs game, it's so much more than that! Firstly, the events. There is something happening at Gallagher Way multiple times a week that bring so much life to the neighborhood. In the summer, there are FREE yoga classes and HITT classes Monday-Thursday mornings. Free you guys! If there is a concert at Wrigley, they'll do a pre-show on the lawn of Gallagher Way before which is super fun. Over the summer they started doing movie nights -- this Wednesday is Dumb & Dumber and they've got Hocus Pocus on the books in the next few weeks! Again, free :) and they encourage you to bring food from neighboring restaurants like Big Star which builds a great sense of community within the neighborhood. If you've got little ones, they have 'wiggleworms' performances followed by a screening of a classic kids movie every Tuesday morning through October. One of my recent favorites has been the French Market that has been happening on Thursday afternoons (check the calendar for exact dates because I don't think it's every Thursday). It's the perfect spot for a date-night stroll with live music and adorable French vendors selling various wines, jams, fresh bread, macaroons, and so much more. In the winter months, they set up a mini Christkindl Market here complete with a ice skating rink. My absolute favorite part of Gallagher Way is that it's dog friendly. It's the perfect patch of grass to bring your furry friend. And since I live in an apartment in the city with no yard, this little bit of grassy space is so fun for my pup. We'll come here in the morning after the fitness classes have ended and I'll toss a tennis ball for him for a few minutes. *note it's not gated so not really made for this - but so far no one has said anything to me. Onto my final reason for LOVING Gallagher Way: it has WiFi! I was spending way too much money on coffee just so I could use the patio space to enjoy the glorious weather we've been experiencing. It finally dawned on me to make my coffee at home and walk over here instead. They have plenty of picnic tables and outdoor patio seats with WiFi. When I've been needing to change up my scenery, this has been a go-to for me. I even got to listen to the Maroon 5 soundcheck a few weeks back while working here which was pretty cool! Ok, I've gushed enough about this amazing little park nestled on the corner of Wrigley Field. But it really is great, so well kept, and a fantastic addition to the neighborhood with so many fun opportunities and events for all to enjoy. read more

I've skated most rinks in Chicago over the years and this has to be the worst quality of any ever. Rough ridges every 4" and 4 big dips going the other way. Save your $$ and try any other rink in Chicago. Additionally the Gluwein in the park seems very watered down. Really can't wait to go to the downtown Christkindle Markt to have the real Gluwein later this season! read more

I wish there was a movie showing when we went but we enjoyed pre game and had a drink and played games. Safe clean and new area

Gallagher Way is a great edition to Wrigley Field. Last night we went to Friday Night Flight - a beer fest held in the little park outside of the stadium. The space is used really well for non game events and a great gathering spot in Wrigleyville. read more

We met our friends here for the Winterland, including Christkindlmarket. We started with the market to get our hands on potato pancakes, sausages, candied nuts, hot chocolates, and chocolate confections. It wasn't super busy at this location, as it usually is at Daley Center. However, the major downside to this location is the limited number of ornament vendors around. I went with the intention of purchasing a few new ornaments for my home, as well as personalized ones for children we know. We didn't find any ornament gems here. Onto the Winterland portion- ice skating (skate rental available), games (tree topper, snow pitch, etc.), rides (carousel, winter whirl, wintertime, etc.), were all in a hit for the children (ages 1-7). The adults had plenty of fun, too. You can purchase tickets on site, or online. The Christkindlmarket portion is free for entry, and tickets for the carousel ride can be purchased while in line (via QRC code on poster or a card reader on site). The rest is part of the Winterland, and requires a ticket for entry (as well as tickets for every activity inside). Highly recommend the Winterland for families, and the Christkindlmarket only for food/beverages/carousel ride. The vendors, however, at Christkindlmarket Daley Center are greater both in quality and quantity. read more

I really enjoy the Christkindlemarket, however, I really didn't feel like travelling downtown to the market so I thought I'd check out the one in Wrigleyville. To my surprise, how small the market is. As a resident of Lakeview, midday, I had walked over to the park. I was really surprised there were very few attendees there - unlike the market downtown. I was also really surprised the number of merchants there. There were no more than 15 buildings meaning less food, drink and merchandise options. Some of the vendors were very friendly while some were totally not paying attention to the potential buyers. Positive items: reasonable prices, seating areas and the ice skating rink which opens up at later in the afternoon. Mixed feelings about this addition to the park. read more

Located in Wrigleyville, the Christkindlemarket is now open. The market offers a large amount of holiday gifts, food, drink, and candy selections. It appears that this market is selling the same type of inventory as Daley Plaza but not as crowded so its great to bring families. The hula dancers at 3p were great and also gave instruction. If you get tired of the market, the ice skating rink is nearby. read more

Park at Wrigley is Gallagher Way now? Ugh. Do we have to make a buck on everything? Unless it was Frank Gallagher Way. That I would support. Great addition to Wrigley. My son had fun playing on the grass with the other kids. We both loved seeing the championship trophy in the Motorola Trophy Room. There are a few shops, a fancy Starbucks Reserve, Budweiser Brickhouse Tavern and a Cubs Store. There are also kiosks that sell food and drinks. They have many events from movie nights to farmers markets. Great place to hang out year round. On game days only ticket holders can enter. read more

Winter wonderland is a racket. Very disappointed in ice skating this year. $75 for four to skate. (And we brought our own skates!)... And worse, it lost its spirit. Not a neighborhood spot anymore that's kid friendly. Very touristy, complicated, and expensive. Move on. read more

Seasonal craft type amusement area for the family. Ice rink to get festive. Beer stalls for the adults. Cinnamon goodies. Hot drinks to keep you warm. Seating area to eat whatever baked good you decide on. Regular outdoor seating around Wrigley to people watch on. Music and lights because you can't have a winterland without either. Cute thing to do when you're up to kill sometime during the holidays. Free entry. Couldn't rate it any higher though because it's like any other wintertime amusement attraction. Prices are what you'd expect from attractions. Security around parameter for the nice safety factor. Nothing too wow or bleh. Honestly one of the best things to do for free during the holiday season. There's at least two other locations that you can hit up if this is too out of the way for you. read more

A terrific addition to Wrigley, just dedicated this morning - opening day, 2017 - by Mayor Rahm. Ticket holders have access to the park where there's "bleachers," a lawn complete with white picket fence, a bar area, ... and of course, a huge screen broadcasting World Series highlights. Once in, you may enter via Wrigley's newest gate: Gate H. 70 degrees in April?! Let the Summer begin! Let's play ball. PS - on non-game times/dates, the park is open to the public but of course, no beer vendors etc. BYOB! (Probably not.) read more

Nothing terribly remarkable about it other than it's right next to Wrigley and it's brand new. Was here with some friends for one of the 'Movies at the Park' showing. There was plenty of space to set up our chairs (you can bring lawn/foldable chairs for the paved area, but blankets only in the grass). They also had a section of plastic Adirondack chairs set up you could buy reserved seating, but it was farther back from the screen and why would you pay when you can bring your own (or rent a foldable one for $5 and put it where you want). Even though we were a bit back, it was easy to see and hear (except when a loud truck went by on Clark, but it wasn't bad). They had food and beer stands, prices are a little high but it's Wrigely so what do you expect. You can also bring food in (but not drinks, I believe), so that's a plus. It's a nice option for a move in the park setting away from the craziness of Millennium Park. read more

Fantastic addition to Wrigley. Enjoy beverages outside before the game! Look forward to some of the events that are upcoming. On off days the park is still open and you generally see a lot of kids running around on the grass. Enjoy Cubs store, a chance to see the Championship trophy, rings and much more! read more

Went to the first Budweiser concert series at Gallagher Way, and although the weather was horrible, I had an awesome time. The sound was great, the view was also great. Getting in and out wasn't a hassle, and you got to use the stadium restrooms! I definitely want to go and check out their other events during the summer! Don't forget your poncho, sunscreen, or bug spray! read more

This is first year for inside the stadium and walking on Cubby hallowed ground. Under the lights was magical with all the photo ops you could do. And my party of 14 women aged 35-60 took many pics. Admission of $5 is reasonable. Each activity was $4 ticket. They sell discounted tickets in a package. Next year I see the need for improvement. The three games had prizes that made Happy Meal prizes look golden. One game had no prizes to give out at all. Bumper cars on ice had so little space the cars basically sat in the middle and did nothing. The slide needed more workers at the top to actually give you a push. Two was not enough. By 8:30 they were tired. The tilt-a-whirl and saucer cup ride for kids are two rides that are basically the same. More rides and games are sorely needed. Fire pits were very nice! read more

Went to a concert at Gallagher Way, bought 1 round of beers and was charged for 3 rounds. The dispute on my credit card suggested I contact Draftkings fantasy sports zone at 773-404-4750 where there is no answer. If I return I will only use cash for purchases here. read more

I've lived in this area for year and Gallagher Way is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. It's great in the summer but arguably better in the winter. I love the skating rink and in the weeks leading up to Christmas you can bring kids/dogs to see Santa. The Starbucks is open and bathrooms are available to the public. I can't wait to attend future events here. read more

This is a really cool area right outside Wrigley Field. It has some shops (Starbucks, Cubs gear, Cubs jewelery, etc) right in the 'park' area. When I stopped by there was a small market set up with people selling items that they make/sell. There was a bar/food/dink stand that from what I could see sold pop and water but might sell alcohol for game days. There was also a food truck when I was there. I enjoyed getting to see this area since we couldn't tour the ballpark due to events going on. read more

Patrick is the best bartender that ever graced the park at Wrigley. Watch out Wrigley Field. He is going places!
