Hello. My name is Lynn. I have been guiding guests in Chicago for 20 years. I completed rigorous training from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust, and the historic Glessner House. Born and raised in the Chicago area I am a former teacher. As a tour guide, I now have the best classroom (Chicago) and the best students (my guests). I would love to share my favorite city with you. So, join me; won’t you? If you don't find a tour at a day or time that works for you, please let me know and I will do my best to add a tour to accommodate your schedule.

Tour description

Our meeting place on on the southeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street near the map of the park. Look for me I will have a red umbrella.

You will learn about the artists and architects of Wrigley Square, the McCormick-Tribune Ice Rink, Cloud Gate ("The Bean"), Crown Fountain, Lurie Garden, Pritzker Pavilion, BP Bridge, McDonald's Bike Station and the Harris Theater and a surprise for each guest at the end.

You won’t want to leave Chicago without taking my tour of Millennium Park. Come for the tour; stay for the surprise at the end. So, what are you waiting for? Join me; won’t you?

NOTE: From now until the spring of 2024 Millennium Park is undergoing maintenance and repairs. As a result the access and view of "The Bean" / Cloud Gate will be limited or blocked.

Meeting point:

Randolph & Michigan, Chicago, IL 60601, USA

We will begin and end the tour on the southeast corner of Michigan Avenue and Randolph Street (see map). There is no address to search for as it is the corner of the park, but it is right across Michigan Ave. from the Chicago Cultural Center (the former Chicago Public Library). I will be carrying a red umbrella. NOTE: On occasion access to the park will be through a security checkpoint. It is best to carry as little as possible with you.
