This fountain is a great experience to see, especially on a warm summer day. This fountain is famous, it has been in many shows and movies. At night it lights up into different colors.

Even though the fountain wasn't on. But I snapped a picture anyway. It doesn't even look the same.

...is Buckingham Fountain, all aglow on a summer night. Every few minutes, the colors of the lighting will change, and a huge spurt of water will shoot towards the sky. Just beautiful!

Buckingham Fountain is located in Grants Park and is one of the world's largest fountain. It was given to the city as a gift from the widow of Clarence Buckingham in 1927.

Located In Grant Park. The fountain is lit up and runs only in the warmer weathered months. During that time there are a lot of festivals, and firework displays in the area.

Located in Grant Park is this amazing waterfall. Even better is to visit at night when the colour spectrum goes wild!!!
