Watch the Water Show at Buckingham Fountain

The Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain, one of the biggest in the world, was constructed in 1927 as a gift from the family. It is also one of Tourist Attractions in Chicago. Four seahorses that stand in for the four states that border Lake Michigan surround the center fountain, which was created in the distinctive Art Deco design of the time.

The fountain starts up every hour from 8 am to 11 night, blasting 15,000 gallons of water through over 200 nozzles every minute to provide a stunning spectacle. If you happen to be in the area after dark, you must witness the water display, which is illuminated. The fountain serves as the hub of Grant Park, a sizable public area in Chicago that is home to several attractions and smaller parks including Millennium Park, which is similar to Central Park, one of the most popular attractions in New York City.

The Field Museum of Natural History, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Adler Planetarium, and the Shedd Aquarium are all located on Museum Campus, one of the park's most popular tourist destinations. In addition to hosting events like music and culinary festivals, Grant Park is home to a number of gardens and recreational amenities.
