    The self guided tour was great and filled with tons of information, both audio and visual. Sadly part of the park was closed on the day I opted to use mine but I was still able to learn and see quite a bit. Great way to fill an couple hours on your own.

    We enjoyed every bit of the visit. My husband and I got photos of the bean. And the area where the founders' names were listed. Aside from the bean, I did not see a lot of attractions at the park. Or maybe we didn't explore enough

    I had visited Millennium Park a year ago on my own. After this guided tour I realized how many of the wonderful spots and features of the park I had missed.

    Self paced walking tour so we could stop & listen, check side info. or just stop for a hot dog and lemonade between spots. Only complaint is when it says only run the tour, it really is only the tour. The couple times I toggled over to take a photo it stopped & I had to re-start it. No big deal, it picked up with where we were.
