    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chicago sure seems to like naming things after the Millennium Falcon

    Nice monument to the famous Millennium Park. But the fountain is not very impressive.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    These columns make you wonder about the history.

  • 5/5 Kelly D. 1 year ago on Google
    Don’t miss this, it’s tucked into the corner of Millennium Park. Nice quiet spot.

  • 5/5 Tara M. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Erica B. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty cool. First time visitors.

  • 3/5 Sunshine S. 1 year ago on Google
    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

  • 4/5 Rodrigo O. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice. Founding families tribute.

  • 1/5 Nikolas G. 1 year ago on Google
    Grotesque waste of space where there should be a grand entrance to the train station directly below it.

  • 5/5 Andrea A. 2 years ago on Google
    I am really into fountains and pillars so this was a must see for me.

    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.
