If you have any plans to visit Chicago, the city’s most iconic tourist spot is finally reopened. 

Cloud Gate, also known as The Bean opened back up to visitors after being fenced off for nearly a year.

The Bean was closed in August 2023 to allow for construction and renovations to the plaza it is located in.

NOW OPEN! We are happy to share that Grainger Plaza, the area surrounding Cloud Gate (aka “The Bean”), has completed construction and is now open to the public. Visitors can once again have full access to Chicago’s iconic Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor.https://t.co/tUEK7vqTfJ pic.twitter.com/vp2wsxPhpX
