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

The Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain, one of the largest in the world, is located at Columbus Drive (301 East) and Congress Parkway (500 South) in Grant Park and runs from 8 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily, typically from early May through mid-October, depending on weather.
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.
