What can I say? Besides its beautiful, classic, & an icon for the City of Chicago ⛲️🌃 I've driven past here a hundred times on Lake Shore Drive, & have always marveled at the beauty of the fountain, but none of that prepared me for the upclose experience. The Buckingham Fountain ⛲️ is something you want to experience in your lifetime. I felt as if I was transported to a past time.. the sheer beauty of it in the daytime is only magnified 10x by the view of it at night. With the iconic Chicago skyline as its backdrop, this truly is a sight that NEEDS to be seen in person. It was absolutely breathtaking.✨️ It's located in Grant Park, which also has a beautiful rose garden🌹 and other photo worthy attractions. It's a must-see, in person, for both visitors and locals like myself. When you live so close to a big city, you tend to take the magnitude of it for granted. You really do have to stop, smell the roses 🌹, & appreciate what an absolute treasure you have 30 minutes away from home ⛲️🌃🤍
Wonderful experience! We rode the train to Millennium Park, and after, we went to the Shake Shack location right across the street. The place is pricey, but the food is great and the kids loved it. The service inside was excellent also. Very fun diner-type vibes. A great experience is always worth the money spent.

We held my daughter's sweet 16 party here. We used the 2nd floor, and while the hall itself is a typical hall, the view of the water is what makes it next level. It's all about how you decorate it. We added balloons, decor, & deep green uplighting around the room which turned this into such a classy event. I wish I got videos of the room after dark and the setup of everything; it was gorgeous! I would definitely rebook here for another large event! Staff was very accommodating to our wants/needs for time and decorating before the party
