Crown Fountain,

201 E Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60602, United States

"The original splash pad before they were a thing (I think?). Two 50ft LED towers show faces with a reflecting pool in between. Water pours from the top of the towers and is beautiful in the sun. Periodically the faces spray water out of their mouths. Great place for people watching. If you have kids, they will love running around and splashing in the water. They can run up to the towers or through the spray to get soaked. It gets pretty busy in the summertime."

"Beautiful park with many different areas. The "bean" was dirty and too crowded, but overall, its a wonderful place to visit. Excellent views of the city"

"Spitting fountain exhibit with changing faces! The crown fountain during the day acts as a water fountain to cool off kids to beat the heat in Millennium Park. As the sun is about to go down, it lights up and showcases various faces and expression while appear to show water coming from the mouths of this featured in the exhibit. Very neat! Photo ops!"

"Let me tell you about my recent visit to the Crown Fountain, it a splash-tacular experience! First things first, this place is a true gem nestled in the heart of the Windy City. You simply cannot miss the striking glass towers that make up this fantastic fountain. As soon as I laid eyes on it, I knew I was in for something special. The best part? The interactive feature! Two massive LED screens showcase the faces of Chicagoans, smiling and goofing around. It's like they come to life! The moment the water starts gushing out of their mouths, it's pure magic. Kids and adults alike couldn't resist running and playing in the refreshing spray, bringing laughter and joy to everyone present. Now, let me tell you, the ambiance around Crown Fountain is contagious. People from all walks of life gather here, creating an incredible sense of community. It's the kind of place that breaks down barriers and brings people together, even if just for a few moments. I couldn't help but smile at the sight of strangers-turned-friends, sharing a laugh as they dodged the water spouts. Speaking of dodging, let's talk about the surrounding area. Millennium Park, where Crown Fountain resides, is an urban oasis. Lush greenery, stunning art installations, and the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture (you know, that shiny bean thing!) make it a must-visit destination. Soak up the sun, have a picnic, or simply take a leisurely stroll—it's all right there, waiting for you. I must commend the maintenance crew because this place is always squeaky clean! The water is crystal clear, and the surrounding grounds are well-kept. It's evident that the city takes great pride in maintaining the beauty of this spot, and it truly shows. Crown Fountain is an absolute must-see when you're in Chicago. It's a vibrant, interactive masterpiece that will leave you with a smile on your face and memories to cherish. So grab your swimwear, join in the fun, and make a splash at the Crown Fountain—it's a five-star experience you won't want to miss!"
