This is a great place to visit museums or just walk around and people watch . So much to do in a small area.

You have 3 different museum options at the same place. Plus, is a enjoyable walking from the park to there.

Most entrances to Museum Campus through Grant Park is shut for Lollapalooza. You can cross over by walking over to Columbus by way of Roosevelt where you'll find access to Museum Campus.
