A visit to downtown Chicago isn't complete without a visit to Cloud Gate -- or affectionately called The Bean by locals. The reflections are terrific and make for some great pictures!

What else can I say, the shiniest and biggest "bean" in the world...without a doubt. It is the focal point of Millennium Park and I'm sure that every artist has their own interpretation of what this structure is, so whatever you think...so be it. It is beautiful and you can't help but to try to take pictures from every angle... More

A fun place to hang out. Rarely does art work bring out the kid in everyone. Lots of people around and all had smiles on their face. Chicago has done it right with their parks.

Go see it for the awesomeness of it; simply amazing for its size and beauty. Read about how much an engineering feat it was to get it up.

Descriptions didn't get across how cool this piece is. On a clear day, the reflection of the cityscape is unbelievable. you can take a picture of yourself by aiming your camera at your reflection with the city in the background. We loved walking under and around this -- the views are stupendous. The people watching is a lot of fun... More

A bit crowded on day we visited but unique piece to see ! Take a picture of yourselves taking a picture of the bean. Located in beautiful park.

My wife and I stopped by Cloud Gate and took a lot of pictures. Cloud Gate is a great piece of art, plus it reflects the local buildings.

Visited three months ago and back again -- always a cool place to stop and take in. There are some bums here (that is to be expected) but the overall experience is great. You see something new every time here.

One of those things you gotta do! It's very cool to see, lots of people especially on the weekend, lots of great photo ops!
