Crown Fountain

"Beautiful and well thought attraction just steps away from cloud gate aka the bean at Millennium park. The fountain is dual-purpose the actual fountain where you can see kids and adults enjoy the fountain on a hot summer afternoon by soaking themselves. This is an interesting sight to see and never would have expected to see this. It was fun to watch. The next thing is that these tall towers of fountains have displays that feature expressions of faces and beautifully displayed. It's amazing to see that and fun to watch. This is a must-see, and make sure to stay away from the people soaking in the fountain as they could get you soaked as well !!"

"Crown Fountain is one of the most creative and interactive attractions in Millennium Park, and it’s a must-see when visiting downtown Chicago. The fountain features two tall glass towers facing each other, displaying digital videos of Chicago residents’ faces. Every few minutes, water flows gently down the sides — and then, to everyone’s delight, sprays from the “mouths” of the faces in the video! It’s such a unique blend of art and fun, especially for kids who love splashing around on hot summer days. The reflection of the towers in the shallow water creates a beautiful effect, perfect for photography and relaxing by the edge. The area is clean, safe, and surrounded by trees and benches, making it a great place to cool off or just sit and enjoy the atmosphere. At night, the changing lights and videos make it even more magical. It’s also right next to Cloud Gate, so you can easily visit both in one stop. Whether you come to take pictures, play in the water, or admire the digital art, Crown Fountain captures Chicago’s playful and artistic spirit perfectly."

"A wonderful spot for families and pet owners! The area is spacious, lively, and free to enter. Even with some buildings under renovation, it’s still a fun and relaxing place to walk around, take photos, and enjoy time together. Definitely pet-friendly and family-friendly!"

"A unique and mesmerizing installation in Millennium Park that perfectly blends art and play. The two glass towers displaying digital faces are fascinating to watch and the water feature brings a joyful and refreshing energy especially on warm days. It’s a place where locals and visitors gather relax and take photos while enjoying the lively atmosphere of the park. Simple creative and full of character it captures the fun and artistic spirit of Chicago beautifully."

"It's a great spot whether you're a Chicago native or a tourist to go check out. The wide open space is a blast to walk back and forth in, the mist from the fountain cools you down if it's a hot day, and it's really fun when the fountains spit water out."
