A visit to the Clarence F. Buckingham Memorial Fountain in Chicago is a delightful experience for kids, offering a mix of fun, beauty, and learning. Children love watching the massive water displays that shoot up to 150 feet in the air, especially during the hourly shows when music and colorful lights bring the fountain to life. Families can stroll around the surrounding Grant Park, enjoy picnics on the lush lawns, and take in stunning views of Lake Michigan and the city skyline.

 

For kids, the fountain area becomes an open space to explore, play, and marvel at one of Chicago’s most iconic landmarks.
