Buckingham Fountain
Funded by philanthropist Kate Buckingham in memory of her brother, Buckingham Fountain is one of the nation's finest fountains and a public icon of Chicago. It is the centerpiece of Grant Park, the city's grand "front yard," and is set within a handsomely landscaped garden, one of the city's finest examples of a Beaux-Arts-style landscape design. The Fountain is located at 100 N. Lake Shore Drive. Head north back to your Grant Park North Parking Garage through scenic Grant Park.
