    Tulips are blooming on Michigan Avenue, right around the bridge.
    Judit C.

    Michigan Avenue Bridge has one of the most beautiful views. The famous Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent Mile is running through this bridge. Right now, I was fortunate to experience the beautiful, blooming tulips, especially right around the bridge. You can access the Chicago Riverwalk from here, by stairs or elevator. My absolute favorite building is right here, by this bridge, the Wrigley Building. And many other great places, buildings around here, including the London House Hotel and the Chicago Tribute.

    This crossing kinda feel like Times Square. Both directions you see Michigan Avenue extending into the horizon down the canyon of buildings. Chicago Architectural Center, Wrigley building, London house, and the Tribune tower flank the bridge on both side. Epic spot to take some firework photos if you don't feel like going to the pier. They line the whole river with fireworks. It's pretty epic. Also the bridge has two levels but beware of spooky lower wacker drive. Here some crazy ish going on down there.

    Seems weird to visit a bridge, but not really when it is such a beautiful one and you want to look over the side at the bright GREEN water colored for St. Patrick's Day. Downtown Chicago is so incredibly easy to walk, and walking here was a breeze. There are some interesting historical facts situated on the bridge and around the bridge... but the views on both sides are quite lovely and even with traffic.

    If you're in town for a visit or a long time resident, it doesn't matter, you should spend some time on the Magnificent Mile (Michigan Ave.) and if you do, you eventually get to this bridge, which is so beautiful. There are so many options here, you can walk south to Millennium Park, or North to Water Tower Place and Oak St. Beach. You can go down below and catch a boat ride/architectural tour. You can also go down below and enjoy the beautiful River Walk and have a glass of wine. If you walk East on the River Walk, you end by the lakefront. There's so, so much to do. You must come here while in Chicago, it's not as grandiose as Golden Gate or Dom Luis I (Porto) not as cute as HaPenny (Dublin), but clearly memorable and somewhere in between.

    A must stop area for photos, it's a beautiful area regardless of the season and there is a lot of history on this one bridge. The architecture of the pillars is beautiful. It's nice to stop and really look at it for a minute

    I spent so much time at this busy street and I never saw it dirty, it was always clean, with many different stores and restaurants along the way. It's also very nice because it has a bridge and this bridge it's so beautiful.

    Very cool area with tons of shops and restaurants. The water was frozen when we were here, so that made for pretty photos.

    I love all the architecture nearby and being able to see the river below where you can catch a water taxi or stroll on the riverwalk.

Once you check in, you go through a museum-like walkthrough that covers Chicago's history as well as the history of the Sears/Willis Tower. There are also plenty of opportunities to stop and take pictures along the way. Once you reach the end of the walkthrough, you head up 103 floors to the Skydeck. As soon as I walked in, I was honestly blown away. Even though the building was once the tallest in the world, it's still such an incredible experience to see the entire city of Chicago from that high up. The skyline is absolutely breathtaking, and you can even see Lake Michigan from the top. It also wasn't too crowded when I went, which made the experience even better. I was able to do the Ledge as well, where you can step out onto the glass and take pictures and videos. You get up to 90 seconds when it's your turn, and you can get back in line if you want to go again. Everything was exactly as described, and I'm so glad I got to visit again for the second time as an adult. I also got my ticket through CityPASS Chicago, and the whole process was super smooth with no hiccups. Definitely one of the highlights of my Chicago trip and a place I'd recommend checking out, especially if it's your first time in the city!

We purchased city pass tickets since we were visiting for a couple of days and chose the sky deck as one of our activities. They recommend making a reservation through the app so you can book the time you'd like to visit. Once we were in we went through the experience where we got to see exhibits and take fun pictures throughout. From there we took the elevator to the 103 floor to see the sky deck. The views of the city are super beautiful and of course we have to get our fun photos from the ledge!

It replaced Arclight which was in a decline. The cinema had been renovated 2 years ago. It was a Thursday afternoon, and the cinema was pretty quiet. There were big kiosks for ticket purchases, and the process was quick and easy. We got a small bag (which was not too small) for $10 plus tax, a little pricy for popcorn, but it was good. The popcorn guy was friendly, and he also doubled as the guy to collect our ticket stubs, and informed us which cinema room to go to. We were there for the preview of the movie, and we got the entire cinema #5 to the 3 of us! While the lobby and hallways of the cinema was nice and cool, this room was a little too warm. We totally understood that they would not cool down an entire room when there was no audience inside. I went to talk to the popcorn guy about the air temperature issue, and he promised to have it adjusted. As I went back to the cinema room. We could feel that cool air started to come out, and it was comfortable for the rest of the showing. The chairs were big, clean, and comfortable. Sound and picture were great. The movie itself was enjoyable just like the first time, and the English dubbing was perfect. The entire cinema was very clean. I was especially pleased with their restrooms being spotless clean. There is a bar in the lobby, and across from it was the biggest poster I've ever seen in a cinema lobby, it was a colorful digital poster of Ne Zha 2, very appropriate for such a spectacular movie. When we left the cinema after seeing the movie, there was another guy at the hallway collecting ticket stubs, and there was obviously more audience coming in. We enjoyed this cinema experience very much, and would definitely return to see other movies in the future.
