Trip ideas while visiting Chicago in Illinois
Maggie Daley Park, situated east of Millennium Park in downtown Chicago, opened its doors to the public in 2014. This vast property spans 20 acres and offers a wide range of activities suitable for both children and adults. You can engage in various enjoyable experiences such as scaling a climbing wall, playing mini-golf, exploring a 3-acre playground, strolling through a public garden, and renting scooters or rollerblades in the summer. During winter, you can even glide along an ice-skating “ribbon.” Additionally, the park features a tennis facility. No matter what you decide to do, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the magnificent Chicago skyline. Recent visitors highly appreciated the fact that the park is free to enter and found it to be an exceptional destination for family entertainment.
While many activities in the park are free, some attractions like the climbing wall, mini-golf course, skating rink, and snack kiosk have associated costs. Additionally, certain activities are only available during specific seasons. The park is open every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., but it’s most enjoyable during warmer weather. Conveniently located near downtown attractions and hotels, the park can be easily reached on foot, or by taking bus routes such as Nos. 4, 20, and 60. The nearest L station is Washington/Wabash. If you prefer to drive, there are parking lots nearby, although they tend to be pricey and crowded. For more details, please visit the official website of Maggie Daley Park.
