Millennium Monument is in the Wrigley Square of the Millennium Park in the middle of Chicago Downtown, surrounded by all the skyscrappers. The 40 ft high monument is a nearly full-sized replica of the semicircle of 24 paired Roman Doric-style Limestone columns (called a peristyle). The diameter of the semicircle is 80 ft. The pedestal of the peristyle is inscribed with the names of the 115 financial donors (including Oprah Winfrey). It is adjacent to a large lawn and a public fountain. The fountain is a bronze-cast replica of the finials that adorn the Wrigley Building. I went there during a December night, so you can understand how cold was the place at that time. We saw the giant Christmas tree in front. Free admission. Enough Parking, but crowdy. If you are visiting Chicago, this should be the number one on your visiting list. Highly recommend it.

The Millennium Monument is a large monument located in Budapest, Hungary. It was built in 2000 to commemorate the 1000th anniversary of the founding of Hungary. The monument stands at the end of Andrássy Avenue and overlooks Heroes' Square, which is one of Budapest's most famous landmarks. The monument features a giant central pillar that is 36 meters tall and topped with a statue of the archangel Gabriel holding the Hungarian crown. Surrounding the pillar are statues of seven chieftains who led the Hungarian tribes into the Carpathian Basin in the 9th century. The base of the monument features reliefs depicting important events in Hungarian history. The Millennium Monument is a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Hungarian pride and national identity. It is also a frequent location for public events and celebrations.

Located in Wrigley Square adjacent to the Cloud Gate sculpture, this is a nice, quiet-ish area to relax and get away from it all. With the constant sound of water crashing down from the small fountain at the center it washes out a lot of the city noises one would expect being right next to Michigan Avenue. Come check out this underrated spot while you’re visiting The Bean!

The Millennium Monument at the northwest corner - N Michigan Ave. and E Randolph St. intersection. You will see is a semi-circular row of Doric style columns around 12 metres tall and made of Indiana limestone. At the base, you'll find the engraved names of the 122 founders of Millennium Park. In front is a fountain pool and lawn.

This Roman Doric-style or peristyle dual columns lined up in a semicircle is a replica of a monument that originally sat between 1973 and 1953 close to where it is now at Millennium Park. This is a must see when you visit the park and its other landmarks, like the Cloud Gate or "The Bean".

A nice side area with beautiful fountain. Great place to sit and take in the garden area which are very well maintained. There are also some great views of Michigan Ave. The cultural center across the street has some amazing architecture inside. A must see.

Millenium Park serves as a public art venue, home to the famous reflective Cloud Gate sculpture, and a showcase for postmodern architecture. Visitors can ice skate in winter, catch musical performances at Harris Theater or visit the Crown Fountain.

A cool little place to stop by, one of the standard sights at the park. It’s not the prettiest fountain in town; you’ll find that at Buckingham. But it’s still a pretty sight and you should stop by if you’re already in the park.

This is a fantastic place to sit down and relax, there are benches a water fountain and great views of sky scrapers from the park. Definitely a place to let your toddler run around and burn some energy!

The area is very clean and relaxing. It was not crowded when I visited and everyone seemed friendly. I would definitely recommend this area for a peaceful stroll! Oh and the monument is truly beautiful!

Chicago sure seems to like naming things after the Millennium Falcon

My favorite part of this monument and fountain are all the homeless people and derilicts wading in the pool for change. "Hey, dude in the fountain, got change for a dollar? "

Really cool park with so many things to see. The memorial is really cool to look at, but the fountain in front was not working, which would have made it look so much better.

This is serene place with fountain. Feels clam!

A marvelous sight not to be missed upon visiting Millenium Park. It is located at the park entrance. Peaceful area to sit & relax. Nearby within minutes is the Bean.

Millennium Monument is a nice area to walk around at either daytime or night. It's proximity to many other great art installations in Chicago makes it easy to see.

Beautiful Architecture in Millenium Park. I love this city. This place is always clean and is the perfect place to just be with family and take pictures.

Located in downtown Chicago near the famous metal "jelly bean", this monument is a great place to stop and take a break from the busy scenery.

This was such a great spot for a walk I also love the monuments and how the water was so close by the park was clean and overall I felt safe.

Such a cool thing to see, especially on a sunny day in Chicago. Bring your camera and get some pictures underneath for sooner cool effects!

A nice spot to stop and cool off with the family. Be sure to check out the “bean” and the waterfall fountains just a few hundred feet away.

Well it says it’s open 24 hrs but it’s not, there is siege all around it at night and no one can walk and look at it

Beautiful little fountain. Can take pictures of at anytime & its also a great background scenery for a picture.

Take a stroll through millennium park and get this iconic photo, such a great area for the avid photographer.

Great place to visit when you are in Chicago, a well maintained park with many iconic tourist atttractions

Bring your camera! One of many nice photo opportunities. Also a nice place to just sit and people watch.

Grotesque waste of space where there should be a grand entrance to the train station directly below it.
