"I've gotten a lot of good, cool shots," one shutterbug said.
Others tried their hand at a little more creativity.
"I'm trying to make a snowman. It's not going well," a man said, "because the snow is really bad for snowmanning. That's a verb."
The cabin fever was running rampant, and many people were glad to be outside.
"We were in too much. We were in since 2 yesterday afternoon," said Mark Paulis.
Miriam Alzoobee of Raleigh, N.C., says she has never seen so much snow.
"I hear this doesn't happen a lot in Chicago, so I'm pretty glad I got to see it," she said.
Alfredo Manas is from the Caribbean. He just wanted to see what the hype was all about.
"I can't believe all this snow. It's cool," Manas said.
The park's ice rink was closed, another victim of several inches of snow but that didn't stop people from enjoying the view and the calm after the storm.
