Buckingham Fountain is a beautiful landmark building. The fountain is a very good thing. The spraying time of the fountain is also fixed. The Buckingham Fountain is also a place to check in here, which is 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.
