Millennium Park

Audio Tour

Walk north along Michigan Avenue until you reach the area in front of Millennium Hall restaurant.

In the winter, the area in front of the restaurant becomes one of the city’s largest and most popular ice skating rinks, hosting more than 100,000 skaters annually. The rink is free to use, with a charge for skate rentals. During the holiday season, the area north of the rink is home to Chicago's official Christmas tree.

During the summer, the space is transformed into an outdoor dining area, with periodic special events and live music.

Looking east -- above the restaurant -- you can see our next stop, the Cloud Gate sculpture.
