Arguably the icon of the city - it’s a must see for a first time in Chicago. If you’re visiting at any time other than the start of end of the day expect the crowds to be large but the area is spacio…Full review by stevebintley

Very cool to see in person and a great photo op. We visited in the winter and even though it was freezing it was worth braving the weather for a pic with The Bean.Full review by mvs1996

Cloud Gate affectionately known as the Bean was a cool quick thing to do while in Chicago. Synonymous with the city’s personality. Love how the locals surround all that this structure has to offer.Full review by 59ericaf

I thought it was pretty accessible and it was fun to view and look at from different angles. Different angles reveal different reflections.

We have a 6 hour layover from O'Hare International Airport on Jan 23rd (Thursday). Would it be doable to do a quick visit to Cloud Gate and maybe grab some food and be back in time for our flight? We will be arriving at 1:20 and departing at 7:30. I should also mention that my husband and I will have our 5 kids with us Thanks in advance!

With the kids and traffic it is very tight. Check train schedules and you could Uber or cab it from the train station. But honestly this is such a tight time frame that you run the risk of not enjoying it. Why not uber to the shopping mall And Casino in Rosemont right next door where you could enjoy the sights and some great restaurants. With the Kids you might enjoy Hofbrau house or on the higher end Gibsons. Look them up. There are plenty of restaurants there and it is 15 Minutes from the airport by taxi or Uber.
