A beautiful fountain with a backdrop of the buildings in Chicago on one side and the lake on the other. A charming area for a lunch break or to take a break and just take in the scene. Full review by esmirelda

It's easy to stop by when you are near the bean and Millennium park. I bet it's amazing in season. The footprint of the foundation is huge but it was not operating. Be sure to check if it's on! Full review by The_Gallagher_7

Beautiful outdoors. Ride Car-age available for fees, food and snacks vendors. Street parking available for $7 hourly. Lots of foot traffic and vehicles traffic too. Full review by Enor A
Does anyone know if the fountain is running again for December??
A:
Not sure; it gets pretty cold next to Lake Michigan and so ice would be an issue. Check with the city's park department web site to see what their plans this year are.

Is anyone able to advise when will the fountain be closing for the season as I will be arriving 17th October 2018 from Australia and was hoping to be able see this while it is still on.

I wish I had an answer for you, but that info is not out yet that I can find. I will tell you that we are having a beautiful fall here in Chicago (it was 91 degrees yesterday)...I'm hoping that means that it will stay open a little longer. Regardless, have a wonderful time in our Windy City!!!
Is the water show going on this season regularly? I ask because i remember it was under repair a few years back and i want to make sure it is functioning now. Thanks.
A:
We only stayed till 7:30 and didn't see anything at the time.
