    Beside the famous bean shaped cloud structure is another pretty awesome place in Millennium Park that isn't appreciated enough. It looks to be a great place for pictures and to hang out. Wrigley Square is like one of the entrances to the park. A big pool is surrounded by columns. This is a pretty impressive looking structure. It looks best in the summer when it's not as cold. People like to sit next to the pool. This isn't nearly as pleasant in the middle of winter. Also in summer it gets busy because of tourists coming to see the bean shaped Cloud Gate. This is just a few steps away from this section. Might as well check this out also. The columnar structure has a special meaning to it, and you can read about it when you're on this. Founders of Millennium Park are named on the base. This structure is like a thank you to these generous people. Cool structure that's nice to hang out. It conveniently is close to other popular attractions for sightseers. There's also some outlets east of the pool where you can charge phones and things.

    Wriggly square offers many cool things to visit and see. It has many cool photo opportunities and things to see. My family and I had a great time visiting and exploring Chicago and this was one of our favorites

    Beautiful fountain! A must stop on your walk through millenium park, it's even prettier when the sun is glistening off the water but it went behind the clouds today

    Anchoring Millennium Park from the south east corner lies the Millinium Monument section Wrigley Square, a pretty portion whose beauty can not be truly revealed in the depths of winter. Etched in stone toward the base of the structure are the names of the founders of the park, a unobtrusive dedication to be sure. Doric style columns reach up to the heavens up top, stretching approximately fifty feet to it's tips. Far be it from me to critique a parks intended design and composition, it's just that the monument seems a bit out of place.

    Wishing on a penny. How nice. No inflation! "It's wonderful that there's progress but it's also wonderful that some things never change." I had that thought after noticing that people still walk up and "make a wish" and all it takes is a good thought and a penny. Wrigley Square is a rectangular green lawn, flanked by benches and it's focal point is the fountain that has a city scene backdrop. Behind the fountain, you'll notice the stone columns (known as "peristyle") below which is inscribed the names of the "Founders of Millenium Park." The very interesting thing is that there was an original peristyle of concrete that was completed in 1917 upon this very site. It had to be razed in 1953. The Wm Wrigley Jr Foundation made possible the re-creation of the peristyle you see today. It's made of Indiana and French limestone to ensure it'll endure through the centuries. (Info courtesy of the Wrigley Square plaque, dedicated October 30, 2002) Of course it took a whole lotta pennies to make this possible. But it just takes one to make a splash. Make it a good one!

    Lots of cool buildings in downtown Chicago

Once you check in, you go through a museum-like walkthrough that covers Chicago's history as well as the history of the Sears/Willis Tower. There are also plenty of opportunities to stop and take pictures along the way. Once you reach the end of the walkthrough, you head up 103 floors to the Skydeck. As soon as I walked in, I was honestly blown away. Even though the building was once the tallest in the world, it's still such an incredible experience to see the entire city of Chicago from that high up. The skyline is absolutely breathtaking, and you can even see Lake Michigan from the top. It also wasn't too crowded when I went, which made the experience even better. I was able to do the Ledge as well, where you can step out onto the glass and take pictures and videos. You get up to 90 seconds when it's your turn, and you can get back in line if you want to go again. Everything was exactly as described, and I'm so glad I got to visit again for the second time as an adult. I also got my ticket through CityPASS Chicago, and the whole process was super smooth with no hiccups. Definitely one of the highlights of my Chicago trip and a place I'd recommend checking out, especially if it's your first time in the city!

We purchased city pass tickets since we were visiting for a couple of days and chose the sky deck as one of our activities. They recommend making a reservation through the app so you can book the time you'd like to visit. Once we were in we went through the experience where we got to see exhibits and take fun pictures throughout. From there we took the elevator to the 103 floor to see the sky deck. The views of the city are super beautiful and of course we have to get our fun photos from the ledge!

It replaced Arclight which was in a decline. The cinema had been renovated 2 years ago. It was a Thursday afternoon, and the cinema was pretty quiet. There were big kiosks for ticket purchases, and the process was quick and easy. We got a small bag (which was not too small) for $10 plus tax, a little pricy for popcorn, but it was good. The popcorn guy was friendly, and he also doubled as the guy to collect our ticket stubs, and informed us which cinema room to go to. We were there for the preview of the movie, and we got the entire cinema #5 to the 3 of us! While the lobby and hallways of the cinema was nice and cool, this room was a little too warm. We totally understood that they would not cool down an entire room when there was no audience inside. I went to talk to the popcorn guy about the air temperature issue, and he promised to have it adjusted. As I went back to the cinema room. We could feel that cool air started to come out, and it was comfortable for the rest of the showing. The chairs were big, clean, and comfortable. Sound and picture were great. The movie itself was enjoyable just like the first time, and the English dubbing was perfect. The entire cinema was very clean. I was especially pleased with their restrooms being spotless clean. There is a bar in the lobby, and across from it was the biggest poster I've ever seen in a cinema lobby, it was a colorful digital poster of Ne Zha 2, very appropriate for such a spectacular movie. When we left the cinema after seeing the movie, there was another guy at the hallway collecting ticket stubs, and there was obviously more audience coming in. We enjoyed this cinema experience very much, and would definitely return to see other movies in the future.
