Very cool attraction inside Millenium Park. Very well maintained and cool to see. Lots of people around so be carefull for thefts.
The Crown Fountain in Chicago is especially impressive at night. The illuminated video displays of faces look stunning, and the water adds a magical touch. It’s a great spot to unwind and enjoy the unique blend of art and interaction. The atmosphere at night really enhances the experience, making it a must-see if you’re in the city.
All first time visitors need to make a stop. The first time I came upon the Crown Fountain I was blown away.
This ultra cool art piece will keep people of all ages mesmerized for more than a few moments. Find a spot and watch the various faces appear. The kids will surely love it as the splash area is quite inviting.
This is one of the pedestrian areas that all Chicago tourists should visit.

Very cool experience, where children can play with water and enjoy themselves while parents are watching. It is also located right next to the street, which means you can sit there, chilling and watch all the cars and bus moving around, which create a energetic feeling. All in all, a must-try place when visit Millenium Park.
There’s something magical about these two pillars sitting in water and making faces that I love seeing while in Chicago. Again the artwork is so creative. Who thinks of ideas like this? I love coming back and bringing others to see this area.
Cool place, smart fountains. Very relaxing experience watching little kids playing and splashing, fountains flowing and periodic sprout mimicking a spitting. Ample sitting spaces on both sides of the promenade.
Perfect in the Chicago heat and humidity, you have this incredible fountain that acts as an art installation, a summer refresher, a playground, and a form of relaxation through the mayhem going on here! Lots of families and people gather here and experience a relief from the heat as the moisture in the air from the fountain really refreshes everyone around it!
There's a cool and kind of creepy in a fun way image of human facial expressions on the sides and honestly I'm here for it!
If you really want to run through the fountain, bring a towel and perhaps change of clothes. Or you could just sit on the benches and take it all in!

Bring a change of clothes that is easy to change in public with you, so you can enjoy the nice cool water splash in the middle of Chicago City. There are a lot of babies and toddlers enjoying the cool water. Some parents get wet and play with them. It is a nice spot to stop when the weather is 80-90 +degree.
