Buckingham Fountain | Wednesday May 19, 2010
This Week: The Last Chicago Morning
This is Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park.
Buckingham Fountain, located in Grant Park, is one of Chicago's most popular attractions and one of the largest fountains in the world. It was opened in May of 1927. The fountain operates from approximately April 1 to November 1 each year and runs from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm each day. Every hour on the hour for 20 minutes the fountain produces a major water display and the center jet shoots 150 feet into the air. At dusk, the fountain's hourly major water display is accompanied by lights and music.
I look forward to going back and watching the night display.
