What people are saying:

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!

    Not Fountain-ing at Our Visit

    Due to COVID, Buckingham Fountain was not fountain-ing at the time of our visit. Sad face. Still, it is a GREAT place to get photos of the city skyline and we really enjoyed our walk.

    During the day or at night, Buckingham Fountain is beautiful. This historical landmark was Chicago #1 attraction before the “Bean” was built. Located in the middle of the parks, close to Lake Michigan...
