Explore Millennium Park and the Chicago Riverwalk with your personal audio guide and map. Start at Millennium Park's north end, heading to Pritzker Pavilion to learn about its high-tech design and notable performances. Discover the tranquil "Secret Garden" with its skyline views, then proceed to the Art Institute of Chicago and the interactive Crown Fountain. Conclude at Cloud Gate, aka “The Bean,” where you can learn about its creation and snap reflective photos.

The Riverwalk tour kicks off at the historic DuSable Bridge, adjacent to the iconic Wrigley Building. Stroll west along the river, passing America’s Most Beautiful Bridge and pausing at the Chicago Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Marvel at the Marina Towers, a "city within a city," and uncover the tumultuous history of the Dearborn Street Bridge. Learn about the tragic shipwreck on the Chicago River as you walk.

Admire the Art Deco Merchandise Mart and visit Wolf Point, the site of Chicago’s first hotel. View the Tribune Tower, housing pieces of world landmarks, and see NBC’s headquarters, inspired by New York’s Rockefeller Center. End at the final bridge before Lake Michigan, a perfect photo spot.
