  Gorgeous fountain and huge! A great spot to take pictures of the city in the background. It is a busy place, so you have to be patient if you want to take a picture with minimal people in it. Because of it size I recommend using a wide angle or a Gopro. A must see while in Chicago.

  Always a "go to" when you're visiting Chicago, or even better yet, when you reside here. Went to the powering up of the fountain, (when they turn the fountain on for the summer) and it wasn't worth the drive. Visit the fountain when there isn't an event or festival. Absolutely gorgeous!!

  Went to the turning on ceremony. Live classic rock music. Plenty of free stuff. Nice time. Enjoyed the band 16 Candles.

  A beautiful Chicago landmark. Positioning is perfect as you have views of a glorious fountain with a skyline back drop that is steps away from Lake Michigan. Lots of benches to sit and enjoy the view. The area is very well maintained with zero trash. The park district has done a very nice job at keeping the area maintained. Free WiFi too!

  We have visited this fountain many times but we really like it at night when the lights are on. You can sit in one of the many benches and just relax and enjoy the light show for about 20 minutes. I only wish that they didn't shut it down until the weather gets bad not just on a certain day in Oct. Sometimes Nov has some wonderful weather.
