venessa tarbellNovember 17, 2011If you don't want to splurge on entrance to the AI (where kids are always free) take the time to admire the Lions at the entrance, then head north to the free sculpture garden for a quiet respite.
Mabel GuzmanAugust 3, 2013Beautiful setting amidst the city. The tethered trees create a canopy that makes you feel sheltered from elements. The Garden will transport you- Joseph B.May 8, 2017Honestly not that impressive, especially when compared to the rest of the public art just a few steps away.
Located on the east side of the Chicago Art Institute this sculpture done in 1976 was done to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Republic. It cost approx. $250,000.
Michael RoytmanSeptember 19, 2016Grab some grub from the food trucks next door and relax on the benches- Christopher MarianoSeptember 17, 2015Located on the north side of the Art Institute, this public space is a gem. Canopied by beautiful trees and amidst some incredible sculptures, this garden is the perfect getaway from the chaotic city.

"The contrast between the organic form of 'the bean' and the structured grid lines, along with the warped fun house mirror quality of the city, makes this a truly unique destination."

"The park is the largest green space in the city and the best place to see all the non-green spaces surrounding it. It hosts many events throughout the year and there are many more ways to get here."
Jonathan Ferrera - 8.9
"Yes...it's one of the most iconic photo-ops in Chicago, but it's also a great piece by the brilliant Anish Kapoor. Make sure to spend a few minutes with it even after snapping a photo."
