"The first time I visited, I thought, 'This can't be real. It looks like a stock image.. .'"

BuzzFeed Staff

— u/Dinkerdoo

7. "Angkor Wat is amazing in itself, but it is basically a whole city of ruins, walls, and man-made lakes. It's wild. It's the best place I've ever visited, and I've been to a few places."

8. "The Louvre in Paris has a well-deserved reputation. There is SO MUCH art in there that nobody ever talks about. When I visited, I spent hours just looking at sculptures and barely even got to spend time seeing any of the paintings."

— u/Prank_Owl

9. "Redwood National Park. You can't truly appreciate the size of these trees until you're standing next to them, seeing wrinkles in the bark that are wider than your body and hearing the sap popping and creaking as it works its way up the tree. It just hits you all at once, and you feel tiny."

When will ‘The Bean' reopen in Chicago? City gives new construction update

While a reopening date was not given, construction is expected to be completed in the 'coming weeks', by nbc chicago staff • published 6 hours ago • updated 6 hours ago.

Following months of closure , construction at one of Chicago's most iconic tourist destinations will be concluding soon as summer approaches.

The City of Chicago said in a press  release  last summer that public access to “The Bean” would be limited from Aug. 15, 2023 through the spring of 2024.

The attraction remains closed because of the construction, which the city said is necessary maintenance that will “replace pavers and make other repairs and accessibility upgrades to the Plaza.”

Chicago officials claim the maintenance will enhance the appearance of the 20-year-old attraction to better visitor experience.

Additionally, city officials said that new temporary public art will be announced as part of Millennium Park's 20th anniversary celebration.

An official reopening date for Cloud Gate has yet to be announced.
