"This place is a absolutely stunning place for every visitor and Chicagoans alike!!! There is a little for everyone!

This place is a absolutely stunning place for every visitor and Chicagoans alike!!! There is a little for everyone! Family oriented, kid-friendly, romantic friendly, animal friendly, nature friendly; There is a little bit for everyone!!!! While many people with children find themselves at the park, there are a few quiet spots on the Randolf street side, across from Mariano's. I love to read and I go there because it is almost always quiet, aside from festivals and other activities. Everyone is pretty friendly and respect your space. The view there is absolutely stunning! My favorite of a million favorites in Chicago; The view! For those of you who have children, I suggest doing what I do when I tag along my nephews nieces with me. ( After losing one for 8 minutes at Navy Pier's Winter Wonderland). I tag all of them. I get these name tags and wrist bands and in permanent marker, I write a note something to the effect of " If I am lost or in case if emergency call my guardian." I place two numbers, my own and another in case of emergency. I do not put the names of the kids however, for the wrong person can use that against them. Before any trip in public outings, I also have a pep talk from the smallest to the biggest. We go through the rules for fun, learning, and respect for others. The main one being "if I can not see you and you can see me that's a problem. I also express to them, if they ever get lost, seek out a police officer or security guard, or a mommy and daddy whose together. If they must ask help from a daddy, ask help from a daddy who has children. And I tell them if a stranger calls them for no reason, scream, holler,... I also may place a tag inside their pants pockets in case they lose one. The bracelets are good because the stay on. Those are my suggestions, though for the most part, the park is safe. Also, if you get hungry, instead of buying food that costs and arm and a leg, get a healthy abs delicious meal at a sensible price from Mariano's. And if you are a penny pincher, the best deal is right off Michigan and Randolf ( Metra Train Station), if you go downstairs. There is burger king, a subway, a pizza restaurant, a taco restaurant, a healthy shake place, and even a nice lounge for those of you who wants to take drink. It is a lovely place to be at all times.
Maggie Daley Park is a beautiful recreational park located in the heart of downtown Chicago. It is named after the former First Lady of Chicago,Maggie Daley, who passed away in 2011. The park spans across 28 acres and offers a wide range of fun and exciting activities for both children and adults. One of the most notable features of Maggie Daley Park is theenormous playground, which is known as the Play Garden. This playground is designed to be not just a normal child's play area, but rather a unique landscape of hills and massive sculptures that encourage children to run, jump, climb, and explore. Additionally, there is a rock-climbing wall, extensive slides, and many other types of equipment that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. Another notable feature of the park is the Skating Ribbon, which is effectively a winter wonderland. The vast ribbon of ice encapsulates a loop that is ⅓ of a mile long and is encircled by the hustle and bustle of the city. It offers a magical experience to anyone who wants to skate, walk, or just enjoy the atmosphere. The park also has an area known as the Field House, which encompasses a section for remote-controlled boats, a climbing wall, an array of game tables, ping pong, and a fitness facility, among many other things. Maggie Daley Park in Chicago may have a broad range of activities, but it is also beautiful and well-maintained. The park offers plenty of picturesque places to rest and take in the view of the beautifully maintained surroundings. Moreover, the park is centrally situated in downtown Chicago, which makes it effortless for individuals to access it. Overall, Maggie Daley Park in Chicago is an excellent choice for spending the day with family and friends. It is an exciting and vibrant park that offers something for everyone. Whether you are pursuing fun-filled activities with children, taking a relaxing break or appreciating the beauty of this remarkable park, Maggie Daley has it all.
Everyone said Maggie Daley Park was great for kids. So we did an impromptu trip to the city on the Metra because my son is 2.5 and LOVES trains. We moved out of the city right as this opened so it was the first time for all of us. To get to Maggie Daley from Millennium Park you need to cross of Pritzker Pavilion and over the bridge. Not awesome when there is a concert and you need to go through security or walk around the park. My son loved every minute of it. We quickly changed him into a swim suit top and bottom and a hat because it was very sunny and he’s pretty fair skinned. Sadly, one of the Splash Pads with dolphins and some other creatures was closed but we did find this whale tail that had water and was such a blast for him. He loved running under and around the tail and the water fell at a rate and strength that was perfect for my little guy. The downsides were this was the only spot without a foam/cork ground covering and rather exposed aggregate which could be a little slippery which lead to a few slips. The other downside here and throughout the park was mix of big and little kids. A lot of the attractions have suggested ages but some people just don’t care. But he just loved this whale tale. Each side section was nice and not too crowded. The main park area with numerous slides, bridge, and hills was rather crazy. The park is a great time but with a mix of big and little kids, you might want to keep a close eye on your little kids. The slides are old school steel and I heard about burns but we managed just fine. Kids over 5 here might not want to go home! Bathrooms aren’t super easy to come by and the park could use a few more water fountains. I am very proud of Chicago for creating this and keeping with this land for the people. Burnham and Maggie Daley would be very proud!
Maggie Daley Park is one place to guarantee a wonderful weekend always, from hosting various pop-up to live entertainment and events there’s always something to do the parks broken down to different areas / themes if you would some ares are better suited for younger kids but if your kid’s a runner this might not be the best park playground experience for you. The sprawling landscape is prairie at its best with butterfly garden varieties of flowers there’s always magic flying overhead. We must if saw 4 beautiful butterflies while in line at the event there today. It does get a bit chiller, but that’s really anywhere off the lake and parking is ample just don’t forget where you parked we spent a good 15 min walking around before we realized we were on the wrong floor as they look exactly the same almost but it’s relatively inexpensive to park we used spot hero and saved. There do much to do and explore the largest main playground with the big suspension bridge had some steep slides nested in the hills that can be a tad dangerous with littles running free. There a lot of older kids so it can get to be a mess trying to manage. I have a few more great pics to share too, if I can find them my oldest loved the play ship and tire/saucer swings too. I’d say it’s best for 5/6 and up overall but all will enjoy it big and smalls.
SPLENDID! An extravaganza genre of Grand Culture Designs for the conveniences for the new generation. This is a great ideology, well exhibited on behalf of the todays and tomorrows young family. Maggie Daley Park was magnificently, and gorgeously architecturally illustrated. That's awesome! A great canvas! A painting which we are allowed to play the partition already written for anyone's to participate. Young Children and the youth in general are most beneficial from the Maggie Daley's dreams to create a special place for the young generation of the 21st Century. Well done Mrs. Maggie Daley. Enjoy your Special new Residence. Grant Pack: In general is and was specifically well also designs magnanimously for all Art Lovers. A wonderful water Fountain that pitch its perfect musical notes which embracing by a soft melody from the whispering wind singing the ALMIGHTY "ALLELUIA". The Garden with a serpentine or Waving style flowers arrangements with great taste of garden design and engineering. Again, it's a great canvassing piece, ready set-up as a Mona Lisa for all lovers to beautifully completed. Ernst!
This was a very special night, we arrived at the skate park and little did my girlfriend know we she ordered the wrong tickets so we had to go to the service desk and we got to speak with the General manager Katy or Katie who was the best help she made sure we got skates at the last minute but little did she know she helped me a million because tonight i proposed to my girlfriend of 5yrs and because of general manager Katy my night went beautifully and my girlfriend said yes to my proposal at the skate ring, so I wanna say thank you Katy we will never forget you and every year from here on out we will be back and make sure to come say thank you again. I definitely recommend coming here it’s beautiful and thank you Maggie Daley park.
Maggie Daley Park has such a wonderful space for kids, and adults alike! There is an area with slides, rope climbing, and more accessible at no cost. There is also a very reasonably priced mini Golf area that is loads of fun for the entire family! For those who love to exercise in the morning, this park’s walking path is vast as Maggie Daley, Grant, and Millenium Parks are connected. Being able to walk through all the parks and have a diverse experience proves helpful for motivation! The scene is always changing! I found myself stopping to look at the many gardens, play area and stages!! It’s steps away from the lakeshore so the breeze is soothing for runners and walkers alike! Great for the entire family!
Are you a kid at heart? Then you need to visit this park! The best part? So many! Let’s start with the fact that there’s so many different things to do. You can rock climb, go roller skating and there’s different parks for different ages which is really nice if you’re worried about your little ones playing. We went to a part of the park that was open for all ages and we had a blast! We took fun pictures and ran around doing different things like going down slides. The worst part? The park does close at 9pm during the week, we went on a Tuesday. I did like that there was security who kept an eye on the whole area so it felt safe, especially as it got darker. We hope to go back so we can try more things!
What a great place! Finally reopened, but not fully. The children's area is still under quarantine restrictions. The skating ribbon is open! What a fun time for everyone + single people, dad's and daughters, entire families- all were out enjoying either skating or scooter. Staff at the rental desk were efficient and friendly. VERY clean amenities, plus the rental lockers were affordable, 3$, and roomy enough for a standard backpack and a pair of sneakers (tight fit but it worked!). Rental skates were true to size, worked properly, and were CLEAN. Finally, cancer survivor garden was open, but not much in bloom this time of year. Still very serene, clean, and well maintained.
Loved the play area and had a truly wonderful time with the kids. I gave it 4 stars though because the bathrooms were across the park from the playgrounds and directions to them were not clearly marked. It was quite the stressful run when my toddler said he had to go potty. It would be much nicer if there was even just a single family bathroom in the playground area, especially since you want to change kids in and out of suits to use the splash pad. The area was clean, the equipment well maintained, the security staff very kind, and the grounds were beautiful. I would highly recommend visiting this park.
What an awesome park for the kids and its free. It's a collection of small playgrounds in one giant park. You have parks arranged by the age of your child, the entrances to these little playgrounds have signs with the recommended age limits. You have wall/rock climbing with a roller rink around it for skates or blades (must pay to climb and skate). There is also a pirate ship themed playground. The biggest playground area has a two giant bridge structures with slides and other activities within it. You also have tennis courts for adults and kids. Mini golf which you must pay to play. Fun times.
Beautiful downtown park with lots of things to do! They have a "street sign" that shows where to go for the different areas. Some of the things they have include a rock climbing area, an ice skating rink, tennis courts, mini golf and more. We mostly spent our time in the play garden during our visit. Signs with appropriate age ranges are provided in each of the play areas that I think are very helpful for safety purposes. My 1.5 year old nephew sure did have a lot of fun playing in the playground. In general, this a great place to enjoy the day with your loved ones!
This park has it all! My son (2.5yr) and I were looking for some big slides.. our local park's slides weren't cutting it anymore.. boy let me tell you.. looks could be deceiving.. these slides are bigger than they seem in the pictures, but that didn't stop us from conquering these slides! So much fun to be had in this park.. I'd recommend going on an off weather day, light jacket kind of day or cool summer day... I can see this park getting packed! Bigger slides are usually 5yr and above.. but if you have a little guy like mine than he'll absolutely love this park!
This place is near to the Millenium Lakeside garage. Parking is the major concern, so this garage parking is walkable distance only and cheaper. It costed me $12. The park is free and kids friendly. They can enjoy some time but not very long. The photos available online seems nice pictures but in reality, the kids play area is small only and not many activities also. Some of the play area became old. What ever the kids are playing, it is on parents risk. The place can be viewed on bikes or scooters. The scooters are available for rent if we want to buy over there.
I like the place except they don't have a good playground for younger kids aged 2-3. Like a little slides or little trampoline, stacking blocks or little basketball or little climber. We went with our 2 year old son and for toddlers,they've like climbing on things. He tried to play to other areas for 3-5 but they're older than him and I don't think he understands what the other kids were doing. Theres another place,like a house with hanging boats that they can play but i think they should be creative and add some more toys or so.
I dream playground for kids and families to enjoy with all the biggest and best amenities a child could dream of!!!! They have a rock climbing wall, miniature golf, rock climbing for a small fee that makes it a great family outing. I took my daughters and they had a blast and after they played at the park we walked over the BP Bridge to Millennium Park and took more pictures (over 100). Bring snacks and water because concessions are not cheap as well as comfortable shoes because there will be a lot of activity for everyone.
Maggie Daley Park is a grate park for people of all ages. It has many attractions and things to do such as a rock climbing wall ,mini golf and an excellent playground too name a few things. This park also has beautiful skyline views of Chicago and plenty of green space too play or relax and take in the area. This park is also a short walk from Lake Michigan. I would definitely come back here again when I am in Chicago. Out of all the parks I have been to on my travels I would say this is one of the best parks.
Awesome park for kids but really confusing. If you aren't familiar with Chicago, it is really hard to tell where this park starts and Millennium Park ends. There are no signs that really say and its important if you have dogs with you because you can't bring the dogs into the park, even on the sidewalks!! We had no idea and then had to have one parent take the dogs to the car. It was really inconvenient.
Dog-friendliness
NOT DOG FRIENDLY!!! cannot even sit on the benches on the sidewalks worth dogs.
One of our favorite places! There are many little parks in one park and they are all grouped in a charming garden-like setting. There’s something for every age group here. The only gripe I have is that the pathways in and out of the individual park areas are a bit narrow, which can clog things up on a busy day (strollers). We love every bit of the park but our favorite has to be the main area with the bridges and multiple steel slides on the hill. Try not to smile when you cross the bridge :)
This is one of the most stunning urban parks anywhere. The children's play areas are loosely organized by age yet all of the areas have the most fantastic universal access design. What is universal access? Almost every feature can be accessed by kids of all abilities and wheelchairs. Instead of putting in easy access features off to the side as an afterthought, this park allows a child in a wheelchair or crutches to move around and play right next to your hyperactive 10 years old climber.
Simply magnificent. The best park for children and not so children in the city, its games are spectacular, great slides, ups and downs, suspension bridges, mirror mazes, hammocks, enchanted forest and more. Lots of fun and action for everyone! It has protective rubber floors and all the necessary warnings so that accidents do not occur. Spacious and comfortable spaces, so that all children can enjoy without inconvenience. If you have children it is a must place to visit.
Long walk to the restroom. If you have a little one like me. Get familiar with the location it's kind of tricky to find. It's near the wall climbing and ice ring. Lots of loops. The playground is sectioned off by age group which is wonderful if you have toddlers. Theirs also a section for all ages including the bigger kids, and some adults like to join in the fun! Huge slides. Super fast too! I seen a few accidents occur from people sliding down on that area.
Love it! We took our girls club & had a blast! Huge negative! No bathrooms! Only 3 porta-potties in the entire park & hundreds of people!
Playground
The playground was awesome & thank you for making it big enough for adults to fit inside to go after the kids.
Restrooms
Huge negative! No bathrooms! Only 3 porta-potties in the entire park & hundreds of people!
Picnic area
The picnic area is beautiful but infested by aunts & mosquitos.
This place is beautiful! Took my 4 year old here yesterday and she easily could have stayed for hours. There’s a large play area filled with climbing spaces, multiple levels of slides, swings, and more. The only thing I didn’t see were bathrooms close by. With a 4 year old and an infant, not having changing spaces and bathrooms close by can be a little anxiety producing. But overall, beautiful park. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area again.
Fantastic Park. Unique structures for kids. this park seems to be the centerpiece of the Chicago Park District. It's clean well-maintained and safe. There's something for all ages and also water attractions to keep cool during the hot days. There is an area devoted towards climbing and rollerblading. Rentals are available in the building in which you register. Public transportation is great here and there are parking options with several garages.
Enormous kids playground! The are lots of different zones and they have signs j dictating the age range of each zone. Highly recommend if you are traveling to Chicago with little ones. Cool climbing areas, big shops to play on, splash pad, and it is right next to the lovely millennium park. The park is surrounded by lots of prairie plantings and lots of hills / berms, which gives a cozy secluded feel in the city.
Great for a leisurely stroll. Has a up close view of (parts of) Chicago’s skyline and there’s a skating ring, mini golf, climbing wall for things to do there (there’s fees)
Playground
There is a children’s playground with slides and monkey gym I think
Dog-friendliness
Dog friendly!
Picnic area
Yep there’s lots of greenery for a picnic, people were there enjoying their picnics
Maggie Daley Park is by far the best outdoor kids play area in downtown Chicago. There are activities and play areas for every age group. The playground is free, but some of the other activities, such as mini golf, costs money. The weekends are very busy, so the earlier you get there the better. Also, if you have furry friends, you might want to leave them at home, this park doesn't allow dogs.
The Maggie Daley Park is located just to the east of Millennium Park and includes around 20 acres of leisure and family-friendly features including mini-golf, rock-climbing, ice-skating rink, playground village. It is linked to Millennium Park by way of the BP Pedestrian Bridge and is worth a visit, especially if you have little ones are are seeking family friendly places to visit in Chicago.
This is such a beautiful park in the middle of downtown Chicago! So many things to do here year round, whether its playing mini golf during spring, summer, and fall or ice skating in the ribbon during the winter. The views of the Chicago skyline are also spectacular from here. Perfect spot for an engagement or wedding photo shoot. Or just to get out and about with the family or friends.
This is a terrific park. Like how the sections are divided by age. They have a little nature trail maze along with the regular park features. Ages 2through12. The big hammock swing is very popular so be prepared to wait for it. Usually very crowded in the summer is the only draw back and there are some blind spots where you can't see your child. It can use more bench space for sitting.
Update 05/29/2022: park no longer has the amazing tower slide. This is very sad. It is still a beautiful and wonderful park, but there is only one tunnel slide left and that's the light house. Original 2019: Beautiful park! Excellent slides, swings, and water holes. There is a rock climbing area and trampolines. There is some bouldering at the Rock climbing wall but most are 5.2-5.10.
Beautiful park in downtown Chicago with great views of the city and a few hidden gems like mini golfing, an ice skating ribbon, tennis courts, and rock climbing walls. Maggie Daley Park is a great place to take kids in the summer, and provides fun for folks of all ages all year round. Take a walk through Maggie Daley Park on your way to the Bean and drink in the city along the way.
Came here at 11am for rock climbing. Pretty good value as they let you rent equipment, give you lessons and then let you go out and climb for as long as you like! They appeared to have 3 climbing structures for you to try out. Great view of the city. The office has lockers and facilities for changing. A pretty good experience if you enjoy being outdoors in the park.
Great park with lots to do. Many areas for the kids and adults to get list in and enjoy. From a large rock climbing wall area, enclosed skate track, mini golf, smaller water features to cool off in, and loads of play sets. Also great area just to stroll around. Park district employees are on site to watch over and help out. Very friendly place to visit.
Had a great time at Maggie Daley Park today so I thought I would share my experience. The kids in the park played very well together and there was plenty of space for all of them to have fun. Only complaint I have is parking near the park. It’s only a few places you are able to park so you may want to us public transport, walk, or ride share.
There are not enough hours in the day to cover all that there is to do here! It's a child's wonderland. I wish there were more places to sit in the shade near the playground as it gets home, but overall a super fun place to go! After exhausting themselves on the slides, my kids and husband had an epic game of hide n seek in the mirror maze.
Calm and peaceful! Full of greenery. Has an ice skating rink too. Although I don't know much about it as I visited here in summer. It is connected to the millennium park via the famous bridge!
Playground
Has kids playground area
Dog-friendliness
I did see dogs in the park when I went there. Not sure if it was allowed or not
I had a horrible experience with the park. We scheduled ice skating today but it has been pouring rain all day. They refuse to answer or cancel even though the skating conditions are awful. I would reschedule but that isn’t in the terms when I bought the tickets, so looks like I’m just screwed! Thanks a lot Maggie Daley Park, you suck.
This is a fun place to take your kids. Surprisingly it gives you a secluded feel although located at the heart of the city. My 6 year old had a great time and at times I felt envious not having a place like this while growing up. This is a big and busy place though and at times it was difficult keeping track of your kids.
Super fun park with lots to explore! Exciting for all ages. After driving past a hundred times on LSD we finally got to check it out and it was definitely worth the visit.
Restrooms
It was a walk to find a bathroom (in November, they may have some set up in warmer months) so make sure you go before you get there!
The best urban park! I love all the climbing. It is really meeting gross motor skills development! It is also beautiful. I love seeing the skyscrapers peak through the trees. I also love that the park is segmented into various small, can keep your eyes on kids areas. Though I will also add it felt very safe.
Beautiful park with several fun options--from climbing, mini golf, or a large playground in the summer, to ice skating in the winter. Not far from either Millennium Park or the lakeshore, it has a beautiful view of the city and the water. It also has a nice (flower) garden that was enjoyable to walk through.
Incredible city park. Lived in Chicago 15 years ago and was recently back for a short visit with my wife and two young kids. The city has done an amazing job with the park. The kids LOVED the large playground. Its clean, creative, and beautiful. If you have kids, don't skip out on a visit to this park.
Went ice skating and it was so much fun! Definitely a great price ($14 for skate rentals) and it's free to skate for as long as you want. Love that they have the rail; makes it a great place for beginners who want to learn. There a lot of other activities as well but it was too cold the night we went.
It was all that and a bag of chips the parent will love this very secure and safe playground that also has a path to go across the street to the lake and continue the path to the Navy Pier my grandkids had a blast and we did as well my King enjoyed his Father’s Day with our grandchildren …
Beautiful place. However… Climbing wall was closed, there were signs everywhere saying it was open. Most of the playground slides were too fast (not the right angle) even for bigger kids. I watched a few getting hurt and complaining about some discomfort. Many bugs (don’t forget repelente).
This was my first time going here and we had a blast!! Many different parks and a couple of splash pads. Each park has an age rating so it makes it easy to navigate. I have a 2 year old and this was an awesome time for her. Would recommend to any family! Plus great views of the skyline!!
Lots to do and see here. Maggie Dailey Park has climbing walls, slides, rollerblading a giant kids playground, plus nearby there's the Pritzker Pavilion, some amazing gardens, the art museum, mag-mile, food trucks, the lake, bean cloud, so many things it's hard to do a list justice.
So fun. We only went to the playground areas for kids. It was so impressive and we will be back again to play! Thanks Chicago for a great trip and giving the kids a place to expend their energy! Easy enough parking with good rates. Enough seating for the parents as well.
Incredible park. One of the best I've seen. Our 4 year old had a blast on each different section. Make sure you go all the way through, there are bigger and better types of equipment. There was a splash park as well, small enough for younger children. Highly recommend.
Awesome place to take your kids. Arguably the best playground in the city. However, many of the playground structures have ladders and signs posted for 5-12 yr olds, although there are a few areas for younger kids and water fountains to splash in on hot summer days.
Had a fun family day skating at the Ribbon and checking out Cloud Gate across the pedestrian bridge. Was warm today (upper 40s) so it was nice skating in sweat shirts, but the ice got a bit soft and there were large puddles we saw a few people fall in. Fair warning!
Amazing park and playground. We easily spent an hour. Kids, 5 and 10, loved it. There are so many different areas for them to explore.
Playground
Playground is amazing! So many things for kids to do. You could spend HOURS here...if you had snacks and water!
A huge playground in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Chicago. It's nice to let the kids run around and burn their energy. The only thing is, because it was big and unfenced, you gotta keep track of your kids, especially if you have more than one.
What an awesome park for kids to play, run around and get all their energy out. The city planned and laid out three park perfectly in a good amount of space. There are lots of playground equipment, roller/ice skating rink, rock climbing and splash pads.
I love the hidden serenity from the city just a block away. Great walking path, well kept, gorgeous views of my favorite things (city, water, park). There is a kids playground, rock wall climbing, vendors and a few other things scattered throughout.
Went skating on the ribbon today and had a good time. FYI for people bringing their own skates, it's still free but you need a bracelet before getting on the ice. I don't recall this in the past so it must be a new rule starting this season.
After walking completely through Millennium Park, we find the BP bridge closed. Then find an alternate route via Randolph Ave. to see this sign. Too bad more signage couldn't be posted to let tourists know that a major city park is closed.
Great views, fun activities. New(ish) park is pretty fun and kind of adult sized. Mini golf is a great addition during the warmer months. The ice path in the winter is such a great idea and it’s a great place to just go for a walk.
It really is a great park. Downside is parking ! Parking is outrages if you can't find city street parking. Park-love how the ages are posted on signs for playground letting you know where the best place to let children play.
Maggie Daley park is beautiful. There are so many things for kids and adults to do. Wall climbing, an area for kids to ride their scooters, play areas for toddlers and bigger kids. A mini water park area, and so much more.
This is a very well designed and maintained fun park with access to different outdoor activities (skating and rock climbing), beautiful sitting gardens, plus some of the coolest playgrounds I've ever seen in my life.
If you are in Chicago and traveling with small children, this is a MUST! I absolutely love that there are benches close by each play area in shaded areas. Most definitely designed with both parents and kids in mind!
A lovely park in the middle of the city for kids to play. Different activities, not so crowded and free! We spent a great afternoon in June, our 1 year old boy enjoyed the place but is more for 2-12 kids.
Awesome creative park. Kids love this park. They love to go on the tree house slides, rock climbing , swing and many others. It’s perfect when there is a concert and you can take your kids for some fun
My younger two love it here including me lol. It's safe and it keeps them busy! It's definitely worth the trip to downtown. Now I have to bring my granddaughter so she can experience the fun.
Amazing views. Open fields. Picnic tables with a view. The lake breeze. Play areas that incorporate creativity, climbing, and exploring. Those nest swings Occasional yoga class takeovers
Great for kids of all ages! The best spot for families in the city. The slides are amazing and there is something for all ages and climbing running, sliding....a lot of laughing and Smiles!
Such a lovely park, areas for all ages and kids to explore. Quiet in the morning, cool, shady, fragrant, saw 2 cardinals, yogis on the lawn, families, walkers enjoying our City Treasure.
Roller blading, climbing, slides, and water fountains. Lots of shade and seating could be a little better. The Hot dog stand has the best chili, onion cheese dogs. Lemon ice is good too.
The playground and activities for kids is something amazing that I've never seen at any other public park. Truly my kids favorite playground and a sure highlight on our trip to Chicago.
Such an awesome use of space with a wide array of playground equipment for children to engage… If you are around Millennium Park with kids - plan a bit more time for them to play here!
Please - if you gave kids, bring them in here! It's a must. We have seen many playgrounds all over the world, and this one is on top of the list.
Playground
10/10 and above!
Had a great time there. Family fun place and affordable. 18 holes go fast probably in an hour depends on how many people are there. It was challenging but it was fun, bring water.
This park offers so much for families and everyday people of all ages. We love the wall climbing, slides mini golf and it has the most amazing view of the city of Chicago by far!
Incredibly entertaining for the kids! The view and sights are fascinating along with lovely gardens in between all the play areas. As a parent I truly enjoyed this park as well.
Beautiful, beautiful, very clean park. My husband, our two kids (8 & 10) and I enjoyed it! Visited while in town just for a few nights and would make a point to go there again!
Amazing as always! We come every year and every year the kids have a great time and new areas are added! Parked in Millenium garage which was worth $22 for couple hours by far!
Beautiful park with so many rides and activities for kids mostly between 2–12 years old …. It was sad to see some of the elderly getting on those rides meant for younger kids
Best park my kids & I have EVER been to in the world by far. From awesome slides to cool tunnels and nest swings that look at the Chicago skyscrapers... simply amazing.
This is a beautiful park for kids to be kids. There are a lot of things to do here and it keeps the kids happy. The playgrounds are nicely built and are very catchy.
Wish every major cities had a park like this. The slides are insane, we loved them. Unfortunately it was rainning when we were there, so climbing walls were closed.
One of the greatest playgrounds/ parks I have seen. Great location adjacent to Millennium Park with lots of different areas perfect for everyone from 1 to 100!
Kid focused. Age appropriate at every age! Fun for the kids and parents. Beautiful park with lots of elevation changes. Also very handi-capable accommodating.
This is such a neat park. There’s a lot to explore and see, and even then you’ll find something that surprises you. Definitely give it a try! ✌ …
Best playground bar none. Something for all ages. Some parts are age specific. Kids spent a few hours here. A must see if you’re visiting with kids.
Ice skating was a bonus to find in this large, open park. Lots of handicapped accessible areas & places for the kids to play and burn off energy.
This was an excellent place to let the kids play while the adults unwind. There was lots to do. Slides, forts, climbing structures, and swings.
Chicago’s amenities are overall very impressive. Also for families/kids. This park is outstanding! My boys could spend their whole day here.
But, open park with climbing walls, skating routes and open spaces to lay in the grass. A great way to spend the day relaxing in Chicago.
Beautifully landscaped for a stroll, a picnic or playground time. Iconic views of the city or the lake. You can't take a bad photo here!
What a great park. Great for kids and adults and can spend lots of hours hanging out or just walking around. Plenty to do in this area.
Wonderful park with great view, and some good play equipments for kids to enjoy . It became a fun day for them in the park .
Best park weve ever been too, had plenty of fun stuff to do an play on.... plus the regular patrolling security was nice.
My kids called this “the best park in the history of the world.” Really liked the security guards there as well.
Nice place to be for kids and families..
Playground
Lot of swings and different structures for kids.
Wonderful park with lots of shade and sections for all ages of children. We spent hours there and will return
Amazing park! Great design and engineering, and amazing job by Chicago Parks and Rec groundscrew at upkeep!
