Millennium Park Tour

Today I went on a Chicago Architecture Foundation tour of Millennium Park with my parents and my uncle.  We learned how top architects, artists, and engineers collaborated to transform an ugly railway and parking lot into an amazing park that has become the envy of other cities.  Because the park sits on top a parking garage and a commuter rail station, it is considered the world's largest rooftop garden.  Highlights include the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Cloud Gate (the bean), Crown Fountain, and the Lurie Garden.  Millennium Park is connected by the BP Pedestrian Bridge and the Nichols Bridgeway to other parts of Grant Park.
