Wrigley Square is a public square in the northwest corner of Millennium Park. It houses the Millennium Monument, an almost full-size replica of the semi-circle of paired columns in the Greco-Doric style, a so-called peristyle that was originally in this area of Grant Park between 1917 and 1953. A large lawn and a public fountain belong to the square. The William Wrigley Jr. Foundation donated $ 5 million to the memorial and the place named after the founder of the foundation. The pedestal of the Millennium Monument's colonnade contains the names of the 115 donors, 91 of whom have contributed at least $ 1 million to fund Millennium Park.

A monument right next to the famous Cloud Gate (The Bean) and the ice rink (active in winter). At Christmas time there is also a pretty Christmas tree on the premises.

Located in the heart of the city, the square is best known for the Wrigley Building, one of Chicago's most recognizable landmarks. The iconic toothpaste sign on top of the building is one of the first things you see on your way through the city.

But Wrigley Square is more than just a photo opportunity. Here you can also take a break and enjoy the atmosphere. Events such as concerts and festivals are also often held here, enlivening life in the square.

Another reason why it's worth a visit is its proximity to other attractions. Navy Pier, a popular lakefront amusement park, is within walking distance. It's also an easy walk to Michigan Avenue, one of Chicago's most famous shopping streets.
