5.0 of 5 stars. We had our wedding ceremony here this May and it was just gorgeous. The Park District was a bit of a pain to work with (we had a very flighty coordinator), but my advice is to just keep on them and…

Yelp.com Review - by Michael S.

5.0 of 5 stars. If you're a Northsider like me, the only thing wrong with Promontory Point is it's a bit far. But I had a two hour break today, so I ventured down the lakefront from my place, there and back; well…

5.0 of 5 stars. The Point makes its mark on my Top Five Most Beautiful Places in Chicago. Day or night, this place offers an amazing view of the skyline on one side, and the Museum of Science and Industry on the…

Yelp.com Review - by Kacie M.

5.0 of 5 stars. My personal favorite Chicago view is from the far reaches of Museum Campus, but Promontory Point is a close second, and it actually has outdoor event space. It is indeed the ideal spot for a small…

5.0 of 5 stars. I drive by this place year round on my way to work and each time it almost takes my breath away (cheese with more cheese on top of it)...but seriously, it always looks like it should be in a…

Yelp.com Review - by Suzanne E.

5.0 of 5 stars. A beautiful park whose original design should never be interfered with. The only drawback is the sometimes intrusive police presence in the summer.

Yelp.com Review - by Purnima M.

5.0 of 5 stars. Just one of the most beautiful, tranquil lakefront spots. A visit to the point can liven up any day - the sight of the waves lashing up against the rocks, and the lovely park area. There's no better…

Yelp.com Review - by m i.

4.0 of 5 stars. This place is awesome. I lived right next door so spent many an afternoon walking around the park. My dog loved jumping on the rocks with me. Cons: Just that, cons, as in ex-cons or future-cons. When…

Yelp.com Review - by Sheila Y.

5.0 of 5 stars. The best swimming experience for me in Chicago at Lake Mich was here. It is basically a bunch of rocks right against the lake and you jump in from there. It wasn't packed, it was perfect. And the…

Yelp.com Review - by Elisabeth A.

5.0 of 5 stars. I agree 100% with all the previous reviews. I really want to try swimming here. On the north side of the point there are rocks you can use to climb into the water. They are even labeled: "People Here"…

5.0 of 5 stars. There are times when I am certain that the Point is one of the greatest places around anywhere. It is an almost indescribable feeling walking or jogging around it on a warm autumn day with a cool…

5.0 of 5 stars. My wife and I had our wedding reception at the point -- it's a great venue for a small party, though it can be a bit of a hike for guests with disabilities. It's gorgeous in the summer and it's…

5.0 of 5 stars. This is the #1 reason anyone living in Chicago should come visit Hyde Park. This is a great park, shaped like a half circle (a little larger perhaps) where on one side you can see the Chicago skyline,…

5.0 of 5 stars. Save the Point! Promontory Point is one of the most amazing places in Chicago. Tucked away on the other side of Lake Shore Drive near the museum of Science and Industry it is like stepping back in…
