For a third night, kids under 18 have to be accompanied by an adult that is 21 or older while visiting Chicago's Millennium Park after 6 p.m.
However, the recent violence doesn't seem to be keeping visitors away.
"I'm here maybe once a year, and every time I'm here, it's such a beautiful atmosphere," said Ariel Ortiz, a Millennium Park visitor."Everyone's really nice. It's unfortunate that you see something so iconic and you think that type of stuff's going on." "No, it hasn't really changed my mind about visiting at night or anything like that, just always staying vigilant anyways," said fellow Millennium Park visitor Sarah Webb.
Officials said visitors should be prepared to show identification. Student and military IDs may be accepted.
