Beautiful walk way, fountain, and secret water cannon that shoots off high pressure water at the top of the hour for 5 minutes. The water reaches the other side of the river and drenches everything in its path. Managed to catch a photo of the water just starting- and - We had the joy of seeing a Chicago Fire boat take a good hosing off doing a donut mid- river, and a double rainbow!

It’s always a joy and relaxing to spend time on the Chicago River! Amazing weather; sceneries, and architecture! I highly recommend the boat tour if you’re interested in learning about the history of the city and early architecture. Enjoy!

Buckingham Fountain – ikona Chicago w sercu Grant Park. Jedna z największych fontann na świecie, zbudowana w 1927 r. jako symbol jeziora Michigan. Monumentalna, otoczona rzeźbionymi konikami morskimi, wyrzuca strumienie wody nawet na 46 metrów w górę. Od maja do października co godzinę odbywają się widowiskowe pokazy wodne, a wieczorami dodatkowo z muzyką i efektami świetlnymi. To obowiązkowy punkt spaceru po Grant Park i jedno z najbardziej fotogenicznych miejsc w Chicago.

A good place to walk along the river if you don't want to cross the bridge to get to the river walk. Good for running, walking dogs or even to just relax. Once the fountain is back up, it's even better and they have an hourly thing with the fountain where a water arc is created across the river. I hope they bring that back this summer (2023). There are also a couple of bars with outdoor seating for some...

Usually it's a nice place to take a nice walk with your lady especially late at night. With the city lights and moon reflecting off the river, creates a nice atmosphere. What I like the most about this area, is the fountain. Unfortunately due to the state of the world, it was shut off. The sound of the water fall is very relaxing and soothing. I hope l get to enjoy it before the...
