Chicago Cultural Center

Chicago is a city that has spanned three centuries, and over that stretch of time it has generated a stupendous amount of culture, invention and architecture. An example of all three is the Chicago Cultural Center, located in the River North neighborhood, across the street from Millennium Park and Grant Park proper. When the neoclassical building first opened in 1897, it was not a cultural center, but the home of the Chicago Public Library. In 1991 it took on its current role as the Chicago Cultural Center, functioning as a place where Chicagoans can view art, listen to musicians perform, watch theatrical productions and experience the city’s past and present through the arts. It is also notable that the Chicago Cultural Center acts as a central location that out-of-town VIPs and dignitaries can meet with the city’s mayor and other officials. The only problem is that due to its own popularity and the proximity to the oft-used Millennium Park, it can be difficult to find proper parking. The best course of action is to book a Chicago Cultural Center parking spot with ParkWhiz ahead of your visit, so you can save time and money.
