    Excellent place for photography. Lake and huge buildings around. A good place to visit in Chicago. Public transportation is available at walkable distance from this place.

    Amazing park along the lake. First week of May was especially beautiful die to the blossoming trees. Many spots for a photoshoot. Very calming and chilling to seat by the lake with feet in the water. Feels good after a long city walk. There places to run and bike, smooth grass to lie down and enjoy the nature. Kids liked to observe the ducks, who don’t afraid to swim very close to you. The only thing that upsets is when people leave some trash on the grass.

    One of my favorite places in Chicago! In different seasons, the lakefront trail looks differently! It’s good for jogging, walking and biking, and the trail connects the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium all the way to Navy Pier. It’s simply enjoyable to sit next to the shore and look at the lake. If you go all the way to Alder Planetarium, the view of the Chicago city is very amazing! Highly recommended!

    This is a beautiful park which, as its name suggests, runs alongside Lake Michigan and provides wonderful views of the city. It's worth visiting at different times of day, as the Chicago skyline looks completely different depending on the time of day. There are always lots of people walking, jogging, relaxing, and people watching.

    Delete front is absolutely stunning and offers fantastic walk in areas and visibility of Chicago skyline. I would recommend for any tourist all those visit in the area to come here. We even felt safe during the night with lots of police attendance on bikes

    love the bike trails along the lake! Great views and a fun way to get around the city! It is easy to rent a bike as there are divvy dock stations along the trail.

    This is another place that is very close to my heart, and also a favorite place for me to visit before the break of dawn. You can see the Chicago city through a refreshing lens while taking in the natural beauty of Lake Michigan! I have also seen many photographers trying to capture the breathtaking sceneries β€” when you are walking in this park, you will be inspired to do the same πŸ˜πŸ“·!

    A park on the embankment with a chic walking area and beautiful views of the lake and the city.

    the view was great!

  • 4/5 Daniel B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful park by the river shore where you can take nice pics from the Chicago skyline. You can have a long walk from Navy Piers down to Field Museum and breath fresh air. It is close to the Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park and the red line might be a very convenient public transport solution to reach the place. Watch before sitting on the grass, geeze aren't careful about where they drop their stuff

    Perfect place to unwind. Especially in spring.
