Grant Park - Sightseeing in Chicago
Located next to Chicago's lakefront, Grant Park is one of the city's best public
tourist attractions. Home to Buckingham Fountain and the
Art Institute of Chicago, the park has a long history dating back to the mid
19th century.
As part of Chicago's museum campus (home to the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium,
and much more), Grant Park is the center of Chicago's cultural identity. Each year, many free, annual public
events are held in the park, including the Taste of Chicago, Jazz Fest,
and Celtic Fest (see the video below).
