I Like The Bean
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/25/07
I like the bean because it is a mirrow of us and other stuff! It is different. By the way I am 6 years old. I walked there with my dad from the Embassy Hotel. We walked over the draw bridge on the Michegan Ave. The bean is so funny!
Of all the places I thought were going to be stupid surprised me! You must go here and experience for yourself! Take some time around and under the bean. Great view of Michigan Ave.

Very good place to relax and enjoy the sculptures, gardens and music. A clean and comfortable family place. September is a good time to visit, not to hot and not to cold.

Jeoffrey Ballet 9/5/07

What a treat, and the people of Chicago responded to this FREE performance by the Jeoffrey Ballet. Even though there was a downpour 1 1/2 hours before the performance, people were there drying off their seats and filling every last one of them. We are so fortunate to have Grant Park Concerts, Opera night, Steppenwolf performances in this gorgeous venue.
Thanks to all the performers and the persons who bring these events to fruition.
This place is amazing for visitors! From free concerts at night to the world's largest chromed kidney bean, to the free family oriented events daily to the most outrageous wading pool with 50 foot tall sprinklers to the world class sculptures to the location by Lake Michigan and the Art Institute to EVERYTHING! You can spend the day here, not ...

Not just a tourist stop!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/13/07
I took some out of town friends to the Bean. I thought ok, they'd ooh and aaah. I love the bean, you have to see it. You can see pictures but being there is a completely different experience.
It's fun to walk around it, amazing to see how clear the buildings reflect in it. And most of all you have to walk around and under the bean, ...
