Millennium Park: Chicago's Urban Oasis

Public Transit - Train

If you're starting from downtown Chicago, head to the nearest 'L' train station. The closest train lines to Millennium Park are the Red Line and the Brown Line, which both have stops at State/Lake or Washington/Wells stations. Take the train to the State/Lake stop. Once you exit the station, walk east on Lake Street until you reach Michigan Avenue. Turn left (north) and walk a few blocks until you reach Millennium Park, which will be on your right.

Public Transit - Bus

From anywhere in downtown Chicago, you can catch several bus routes that will take you close to Millennium Park. Look for the #3, #4, #20, or #26 buses. Board the bus and ask the driver to notify you when you reach the 'Michigan & Washington' stop. After getting off, walk east on Washington Street until you reach Michigan Avenue, then turn left (north) to walk directly into Millennium Park.

Walking

If you're already in the Loop area, walking to Millennium Park is a great option! Head towards the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Washington Street. From there, walk north on Michigan Avenue for about 5 minutes, and you will see Millennium Park on your left. Look for the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture, also known as 'The Bean', which is a central feature of the park.

Bicycle

Chicago has a bike-share program called Divvy. If you have a Divvy bike, locate the nearest station and rent a bike. Head south on the Lakefront Trail, then turn west towards Millennium Park by following the path that leads you through the city. You can park your bike at any of the bike racks available near the park entrance.
