NEWS: Grainger Plaza surrounding The Bean will undergo construction starting approximately next Tuesday, 8/15. This is necessary maintenance by the City of Chicago to preserve this iconic attraction for years to come. The work will replace pavers and make other repairs to improve accessibility, enhance the attraction's nearly 20-year-old appearance, and make the visitor experience even better. This improvement process will continue through the spring of 2024. During this time, views of The Bean may be limited. We will provide regular updates throughout the process — stay tuned for more info! #MillenniumPark
