What people are saying:
Less than ten minutes from Millennium Park along Lake Michigan, you can also reach another landmark in Chicago, the Buckingham Fountain (Buckin gham Fountain). The retro sculptures and marble in the fountain pool give it a painting-like elegance. Every night, there is a light music fountain show. Amazingly, the water column in the center of the fountain can be sprayed to 40 or 50 meters high, with the bottom of the colorful light projection, like the fireworks in the night sky.

Across the street, the moisture from Buckingham Fountain splashed across my face and clasped my neck. I hurried across the two roads, standing in front of the towering fountain, behind which was Lake Michigan, which led to the sky.
Great fountain, beautiful night view, in the middle of a very large and empty square, it was raining that day, no one, it was nice to enjoy and take pictures alone. Next to Lake Chicago.
Buckingham Fountain is a beautiful landmark building, the fountain is a very good thing, the spray time of the fountain is also fixed, Buckingham Fountain is also here to punch a card in the place, not bad.
Located in Grant Park looks like a wedding cake. As a child, during hot Chicago summers my family would go in the evenings to watch the colored lights water show. It was fantastic! I loved it as a child and still love it!
A great fountain. It's Simple and beautiful. Also, its a simbol of Chicago
A gorgeous water fountain in the spring and summer time. It's huge and so many architectural structures that make it mesmerizing.
FREE! FREE! FREE! GRANT PARK / BUCKINGHAM FOUNTAIN One of the largest fountains in the world; considered Chicago's front door, since it resides in Grant Park, the city's 'FRONT YARD'
