Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Brenna H5 contributionsMillennium Park in Chicago is a must-visit! The iconic Cloud Gate (aka “The Bean”) is even more impressive in person, reflecting the city’s skyline in a cool, surreal way. The park itself is spacious, with beautiful green areas, stunning art installations, and a great vibe. I loved walking around the Crown Fountain, watching the video projections and water spray. It’s a perfect spot to relax or snap some great photos. Definitely a highlight of Chicago!Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeAnn K38 contributionsWonderful to walk the mile from the John Hancock building to Millennium Park to check out “The Bean”. We checked out various stores along the way and enjoyed the holiday lights. Parking was easy as we prepaid (so you save money!) at One Millennium Mile Parking at 120 E. Walton St. Super Efficient!Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Laurence PNewhaven, UK439 contributionsVery high and stunning views.
One of the better viewing platforms we had in America.
The information at the start gives all teh history you need to know.Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We found it easy to get to using the Chicago L subway system. For such an old and iconic stadium it is unbelievably clean! Even the brick looks fresh. Every usher we met was friendly and helpful as well. We truly enjoyed the game and just the Chicago Cubs experience as well.Written 8 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laurence PNewhaven, UK439 contributionsWe had done the skydeck as well a couple of days before. The 360 has great views, just from a different point in the sky. The advantage here was being able to see in all directions.
And then you can have a go on the tilt, great funWritten 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Intersing to find out about the British designer too. Well worth stopping here for a hour.Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Roselyn S2 contributionsIt was incredible to walk in the windy city, it has different energy that u can feel. Its must see place of city and night with lights, it would be incredibleWritten 14 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laurence PNewhaven, UK439 contributionsAs expected, full of tourists (like us). However, it was great fun. We popped on and off a few times as we had boat rides from here.
We also rode a couple of rides, the wheel was worth it.Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We like to walk around and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and hear the waterfall. It is free to visit although a donation would help maintain the place.Written 19 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- esmireldaMassachusetts400 contributionsA beautiful fountain with a backdrop of the buildings in Chicago on one side and the lake on the other. A charming area for a lunch break or to take a break and just take in the scene.Written 13 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- J EFredericksburg, VA11,746 contributionsWe have a suite here, so we stopped in to catch the Blackhawks – Ducks game. Our suite attendant was awesome! She made great suggestions and was very attentive! It was a breeze getting in and out. The view was decent, but these suites seem to be much better for hanging out and socializing than actually watching the game. The energy level was just ‘ok’… I’m from the DC area and used to the Caps, which are not only a very energetic team, but watching their games is such fun.
Getting in and out was easy. The only annoying part were all the shady taxi drivers all over asking if they can give a ride on the way out – the staff should do a better job keeping them away. Also, same with the homeless… a guy with his dog begging was very annoying and coincidently, I saw him the night before somewhere else downtown walking in traffic with that dog – I could careless about him, but someone needs to ensure the dog is taken care of, healthy, and kept safe from his odd actions. Oh, and keep the beggars away from the stadium too.
Overall – A great time was had!Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We decided not to take our RV trailer (29’) and glad we didn’t. Many times we wouldn’t have been able to park where we were if we were towing the RV. Be sure to purchase your RT.66 shirts early (and often) and when we wore them we met lots of other travelers, some going WB (west bound) while others were EB (east bound) and we shared much information.Written 27 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Chris JChicago, IL7 contributionsThis is an excellent time to visit Cathedrals, as the summer weather often allows for more comfortable exploration and photography. A perfect time to appreciate their architectural beauty and historical significance.Written 5 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DisneybusPittsgrove, NJ984 contributionsAfter arriving on the Zephyr, my wife and I had a rough time traversing thought the subterranean maze, collecting our suitcases, and exiting to find Ubers. There's lots of construction in the abyss, and as such there's little helpful signage and direction. It was difficult for us as seasoned travelers; we did ask questions multiple times and finally found our way to street level. I was excited seeing the famous staircase filmed in the Untouchables where Kevin Costner and Andy Garcia captured the bookkeeper! Of course I couldn't resist reenacting the scene - "Got him"Written 7 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
