Buckingham Fountain

Approx. Time: 1 hours
Activity Level: Easiest

Visit Grant Park day or night for an outstanding fountain show. The lovely pink marble fountain jets 133 choreographed sprays of water high into the air at 14,000 gallons per minute. Built similar to the Versailles fountains, Philanthropist Kate Buckingham created this aesthetic pleasing monument in honor of her brother, Clarence in 1927. The evening fountain shows are the most spectacular as lights and music are incorporated into the show.
