Cloud Gate located in the Millennium Park in Chicago of the top attractions visited in the city. Nice to be visited while you are in the park. People loved ti take pictures and hang around. Full review by KhalafK_13
Is this still gated off, or is it opened up yet? If still gated off, any plans to reopen it? Thanks!!

sorry for the delayed response. You could get pretty close for photos but there are low fences that keep you about 20 feet back. Don't know if it was that way before. 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.
Not a question but just wanted to share about the best way to park in any large city. Use the app Spothero. We used in Chicago and was so very helpful and saved us money!!!
