    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I did ice skating here and to be honest I did like the ice rink (the ribbon) but I got rental skates and they were just terrible. The laces barely worked. The skates hurt my feet and they were digging into the back of my heel, and it hurt my ankles. You should really bring your own skates, the rental skates suck. They didn’t even sell half sizes. The food stands here were good tho.

    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.

    Bring your own skates - the rentals blades were bent and gave me blisters. I could barely make it one lap around to pick my shoes up and leave.

    My first trip to San Francisco was amazing! My partner wanted to celebrate his birthday so we took a "quick" trip to the West Coast to visit friends. I've traveled many places in my life but "SF" had one of the most picturesquely places I've ventured. Golden Gate Bridge Park offered unparalleled views of nature. From the beautiful bay, to sea lions, whales, and a BEAUTIFUL sunset. We walked along a trail which wound its way around the beaches. We saw many people walking their dogs, exercising, boo-loving, and just having a really good time. If you are in the area I highly recommend going.

    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.

    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.

    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!

  • 5/5 Tammy O. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Sandra C. 2 years ago on Google
    What an extraordinary spot! At long last returned, yet not completely. The youngsters' region is as yet under isolate limitations. The skating strip is open! What a pleasant time for everybody + single individuals, father's and little girls, whole families-all were out appreciating either skating or bike. Staff at the rental work area were productive and amicable. Extremely perfect conveniences, in addition to the rental storage spaces were reasonable, 3$, and open enough for a standard knapsack and a couple of shoes (tight fit yet it worked!). Rental skates were consistent with size, worked appropriately, and were CLEAN. At last, malignancy survivor garden was open, however very little in blossom this season. Still exceptionally quiet, clean, and very much kept up with.

  • 5/5 Rich K. 2 years ago on Google
    A brand new playground for children, incredibly well-equipped with various attractions. Overall, the entire Maggie Daley Park is fantastic for kids as for parents with excellent visibility for the children playing there and also a place to sit while the kids play. The park is divided into separate sequences separated from each other over a large area. The great visibility of downtown Chicago also adds to the attractions. Great park, I recommend it.

  • 5/5 Mark D. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

    You can relax by watching Navy Pier park in the greenery among the skyscrapers. Although I came here in winter, it shined. Maybe because of Christmas.

  • 5/5 Alfredo A. 2 years ago on Google
    Ice Skating Rink was great! For $18 you can rent a pair of ice skates for 2 hrs and have fun

  • 5/5 Joseph K. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

    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!

  • 4/5 Sharlena M. 4 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 4/5 David S. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful grounds and a well kept park. Like others say, you can wander around for hours and not see the same thing. Rent a bike and have even more fun. Don't be surprised if you smell something funny coming from the bushes. Gotta love Cali!

    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.
