Rules and Safety

Millennium Park was created for the enjoyment of the people of Chicago and its visitors and guests. While in the Park, please respect the rights of others by allowing free and open access to all areas of the Park at all times.

Please walk your bicycles through the Park. Bicycle parking is located at the McDonald’s Cycle Center, a heated indoor facility located in the northeast corner of the Park.

Dogs, except service animals, are not allowed in the Park.

Skating, rollerblading or skateboarding is not allowed in the Park.

Videotaping of performances in the Jay Pritzker Pavilion is not allowed.

To protect the Great Lawn and its irrigation system, tents, flags and poles of any kind are not allowed to be inserted into the ground.  Balloons and grills are also prohibited in the Park.

For most public performances in Millennium Park, alcohol is allowed in the Jay Pritzker Pavilion and the Great Lawn.  For ticketed events, concert rules are determined by an outside vendor, which may prohibit guests from bringing alcohol into the Park.
