1. Millennium Park<\/h2>\n

Despite being one of the newer parks in Chicago, Millennium Park has taken the city by storm. The park only opened up in 2004 and is only about 25 acres, but is one of the most popular multifunctional parks in the country. It offers a few acres of outdoor green space throughout the area which can be used for picnics, walks and just relaxing, but there is so much more to the park as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

Millennium Park features a reflective pool, a pavilion for concerts, a theatre, gardens, The Bean, and more. The architecture that can be seen throughout this park is quite impressive and there is often a ton of art to check out as well. While this park is technically a section of the larger Grant Park, the fact that it is one of the most popular and busy tourist destinations in all of Chicago definitely warrants a spot on this list.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Lincoln Park<\/h2>\n

Lincoln Park<\/a> is by far the biggest park in all of Chicago. This giant park stretches for seven miles and is well over 1,000 square feet. Named after former President Abraham Lincoln, this park features nature reserves, beaches, harbors, and more. Anything you could imagine doing in a park, you can likely do it here in Lincoln Park. As a result, more than 20 million people visit the park every year, making it among the most popular in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The park is home to an almost endless supply of things to do, there is one feature that is the most popular by a mile, and that is the Lincoln Park Zoo. That\u2019s right, this park even has a zoo. The zoo is one of the oldest in the country and is also one of the few admission-free zoos left in the country. The zoo features over 1000 animals from over 200 species.<\/span><\/p>\n
