This is a very big (high and wide) beautiful fountain located in downtown Chicago in Grant Park by the lakefront. It is the perfect place to stop at if you are on a date or any time. But the very best time to go is at night. At night it is so beautiful because it has different colored lights. As the fountain water squirts into the air it just looks amazing with all different colors showing through.

Buckingham fountain is one of the best free landmarks for tourists to visit in Chicago. Not only is the fountain a great destination during the daytime, but at night, the view is spectacular. The lake is in the background, and they play music and change colors to go with the changes in the music.

I love Buckingham Fountain. It is the perfect backdrop for a romantic afternoon or a family picnic. In the evenings during the summer, they provide a beautiful light show.

Great walkby attraction.Beautiful sculptured artwork in this huge fountain.it is situated in an Ideal location in the beautifully maintain Grant Park area.it should be visited in the beautiful summer night-the colors of the fountain are gorgeous!
I think that Buckingham Fountain is an very unique Chicago landmark. It's right in the visual center of Grant Park and sets within a lovely landscaped garden.Beginning at dusk the water display is accompanied by a major light and music performance.for me it was one of the most impressive sights in Chicago.if you are visiting Chicago dont ever miss it.
