This beautiful fountain is worth a visit. It sits between Lake Michigan and downtown Chicago, and is a great place to take a break with an ice cream, coffee, or beer,Full review by Potomac_11

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
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.

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.
