Beautiful place during summer time specially for kids to play in water that is coming from 2 big pictures building. Many adults also come n enjoy the crowd and relax.

I give the Crown Fountain located at 201 E Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60601 FIVE STARS. Yes, such busy place, but at the same time the vibe has such a peace. Its so relaxing to stroll around and enjoy all that this wondeeful city has. s

An amazing place to walk around. an expansive view. drones and remote controlled skateboarders whiz by. when the fountain is on, in season, it is pretty spectacular. Great place for selfies and to discreetly smoke a little doobie.

Cool place, its a splash pad with these big towering screens that spit and it shoots water out of it. very nice place if your adventuring for a cool splash pad.

Awesome place. Nice park Very interesting exhibition!

Chicago is the best city Ive been to. The water fountain is awesome on a hot day. It has faces that change and makes weird looks at times. Cool yet creepy. Also the bean is amazing. Highly recommend Millennium park

The park and fountain are a nice break from the stress of the three day. Great conversation piece...

Always a nice experience to see the different faces. The water experience is always refreshing in summer. A wonderful Chicago attraction.

Today was nice . It wasnt crowded. They have the areas fenced in. Blocked to keep people going the right way.

Very cool technological fountain however Covid has led to it being turned off.

Beautiful place to have a nice date picnic or walk

Unusual art installation that is fun to watch. It is still for a bit, then changes slowly.

I LOVE THE MAGGIE DALEY &THE MILLENNIUM PARK IT RELAX MY MIND WHEN IM STRESS & DOWN

Hey Chicago South loop is a place to see around Christmas time, I wouldnt say nothing until YOU see it yourself.

Love how they enforce the mask wearing.

We visited Crown fountain. And the bean. Crown fountain was everything we expected it to be! My daughter is 8, my son is 2. They slashed and played in the water for hours.The fountain is on until 11:00 PMThe water IS chlorinated. Which is good. We were worried about over crowding but there is plenty of room for everyone.The walls light up with pictures of ppl and about every 10 minutes or so (someone said five but it seems longer) the wall spews water from mouth of the person in the picture. I loved the diversity of races shown at the fountain! My daughter was so excited when she saw “the black girl” lol!Be sure to bring everything you would bring for a visit to a small water park. Sunscreen, towels, change of clothes, swim diaper.. snacks.

Lots of people around the fountain. Otherwise it’s a fun spot you can’t miss.

Normally a fun place, not much to do or see during COVID.

Mesmerizing experience while standing between both the screen and clicking a selfie.

During the heat of July this was a nice break! It was weird seeing the faces in the statues but after finding out its citizens faces it was really cool! My kids loved the water that spews out of the mouth! Get the kids in swimming gear and let them run around in the heat and enjoy the water! Loved that this was a free experience too! Rec getting an Uber!! Parking looks bad this is the heart of downtown Chicago!

This was really cool. Mist gets sprayed and the display of the art. I didnt stay long enough to see the lights but I did see rainbows.

Very interesting work of art. They do enforce you to wear your mask.

One of our favorite spots in Chicago. We take the kids here every summer for a splash and pictures. Its usually open May-October and is one of the top 10 photo locations in the city.Kids played in the water as young as 1 but its usually best for kids aged 2.5+ just because there are so many bigger kids running around. The stone slabs can be a bit slippery so be careful.Lots of food options along Michigan Ave as well as the Park Grill.

Really cool and fun place for friends.

Normally it would have been better but the water to all fountains was off due to COVID-19

It was fun seeing so many people having fun. There is plenty of water and the screen on the towers are a nice touch. The park is big enough to accommodate the huge crowds that gathered on the weekend. Only downside, is parking costs are outrageous. It was $28 for less than an hour.

A quiet place to think getting photos during the COVID19 in session Chicago STyle

This free park is a must do in Chicago. You will see stunning views of the skyline. The Crown fountain is fun and the Cloud Gate is a must do touristy activity.

Unique artistic fountain!Two face fountains that look at each other.The thing I liked most about the Crown fountain is that the faces that were projected onto the towers were all actual people who lived in Chicago (cool concept, isnt it?). The faces change and then the water spouts out of the pictures mouth.Its beautiful to watch the faces change.Lots of other things to do in the vicinity as well - The bean, millenium park, art institute, etc.

Great place to spend afternoon here with child. But if you want to take a great photo without anyone. Come here before 7:00.

If youre going to go see the Bean, you really need to check this out as well! The fountains are so trippy when you watch the picture of a person spitting water out at the people. Hilarious! Definitely worth a visit, especially on a hot day and with kids!

Bummed the fountains were turned off! Will need to come back when things go back to normal.

My son loves this place

Perfect on a hot summer day or anytime you want to see free interactive public art! Bring the kids suits and a towel if you plan to visit the bean! Kids love the randomly times fountains that pour of only a few minutes every 10 minutes or so. Beware the black tiles are scalding hot without shoes. No easily accessible changing rooms or food nearby.

Its a pretty cool art installation.

Will be nice one the pictures wearing mask

Pretty interesting tourist attraction on the Loop.

A good place to hangout with kids during summer time. These fountains are unique in deaign and well maintained. It was fun watching the different faced fountain screens. It is nearby to Cloud gate. A small park is also present in this fountain place. We can spend some quality time here.

They have nice city but Zero safety. Be attention to yourself.

Fun fountain! Great to visit and take photos with or get wet

A beautiful park with gorgeous water features. A lovely oasis in the middle of downtown Chicago

Really fun to wait and see when the water was going to spout. Several onlookers.

Wonderful place to relax and chill!

A beautiful experience in the downtown area to relax and enjoy the day

Beautiful place, sadly due to covid we couldnt enjoy more. Hopenext year everything will be back to normal

Great to have a look at them at night :-)

I love this fountain. Very unique and love the concept.Kids will love wading on the water on warm days.A must see in Grant Park.

Having water only for summer time. Maybe after April. Cause I didnt see when I go on trip last week. But the fact is very interesting!

The fountains were off due to covid. Also, I have always found this to be one of our most obnoxious monuments.

Need to go back to Chicago and have some fun

Chicago was nice but NY has better pizza!

Cool architecture and technology. A must see in Chicago

Stunning place to take photos and chill out all day

A great place to visit on warm days and to bring kids to play in the water. These fountains are iconic and I remember going there downtown. A good place to stop - even in the colder months.

Its really exciting when the faces start spitting out water.

This Fountain is located inside Millennium Park, and it holds a special place in my heart since I went to the opening ceremony of the park when it was opened, I remember following a few priests with incense throughout the park. And ever since I go there to relax, for a walk and even for a drink with my husband. The fountain display different races faces videos showing water coming out their mouths. This place is definitely amusing. I dont like the fact kids go play in the water but hey!! Kids will be kids and thats actually part of this fountains attraction. This place would be so romantic for a first date. My husband takes me there just to have coffee and I find that very romantic.

Great place to visit.

Not only is it a place for kids to beat the heat on a humid summer day, it is one of the most striking pieces of modern urban art in the United States. Make sure you take the opportunity to check this out when you are on Michigan Avenue or Millennium Park.

Super special place. Perfect for super hot days. Seating around the perimeter for those who don’t want to get wet.

I really enjoy going to this place it is really nice and relaxing...it Isa great place to sit out especially in the summer time to see the different faces and the kids having a great time you see a lot of families out there having a great time so in my opinion this is very enjoyable and relaxing... Enjoy your visit

Very unique fountain. My grandson enjoyed seeing the changing faces and playing in the water.

Best place in Chicago .to go for a walk

Can to see the Bean and saw so much more. Visit!!

Very nice and peaceful.

A super unique fountain, not many places like this. A little unnerving even. Super cool and I recommend coming by it. You can bring a child with swim trunks and they could even play in the water.

I thought this was a really unique artistic fountain. Its really cool how it doubles as art and sort of a water park for small kids. One thing I really liked about the Crown fountain is that the faces that were projected onto the towers were all actually people who lived in Chicago. Thats just a very cool concept.

Very cool interactive fountain and water pool feature. The faces change, and then the water spouts out of the pictures mouth! Kids run in and out of the spraying water, and there are 2 face fountains that look at each other with water, which is about 2 deep from the runoff of the sprays a beautiful and fun interactive art display on Grant Park.

Great place to walk though

Taking the kids out for some air. They enjoyed.

I was really impressed by this fountain. DId not expect to see the video or the shooting water. Saw many kids playing in the water. Also a great spot for photos at night.

Cool place! I didnt even know it was here. I think its nice for kids.

Not only is it a nice park, right in the tick of downtown, the fountain is really cool to see and entertaining.The imagery on it isnt static, so you can sit around for a while to see everything that is shown on it.

Place is amazing and such a unique playground and art installation. Love to people watch when down at Millennium Park. I highly recommend the fountain for anyone visiting Chicago.

A good place to take a picture.

The Millennium Park in Chicago houses the most iconic landmarks of Chicago. It is a public park located in the Loop community area. Its inception was to celebrate the second Millennium. It houses the state of the art collection of architecture,landscape design and art - also a host to a number of cultural events in the city. And the park is very lively and bustling with people.Excerpts from the official website of the city of Chicago:Designed by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park is a major addition to the citys world-renowned public art collection.The fountain consists of two 50-foot glass block towers at each end of a shallow reflecting pool. The towers project video images from a broad social spectrum of Chicago citizens, a reference to the traditional use of gargoyles in fountains, where faces of mythological beings were sculpted with open mouths to allow water, a symbol of life, to flow out.Plensa adapted this practice by having faces of Chicago citizens projected on LED screens and having water flow through an outlet in the screen to give the illusion of water spouting from their mouths. The collection of faces, Plensas tribute to Chicagoans, was taken from a cross-section of 1,000 residents.The fountain’s water operate during the year between mid-spring and mid-fall, while the images remain on view year-round.It is okay - not a must visit I would say, yet you could enjoy the water flowing out of the mouth.Cheers to life!!~Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! :)

So refreshing in 90 plus degree heat!

Very cool fountain! I really liked that people used it to cool off when I was there on a hot day. But the coolest are the 2 continually changing faces, and every few minutes spouting water from their mouths.

My son favorite. Best place for children to play and have fun, always crowd during summer which add more fun for children

Nice. In the warmer weather great place to splash around and cool off.

A fun place to bring guests to the city...best to visit in warmer weather...enjoy playing in the water! A great place for children! Wear water shoes!!!

Wonderful and quite peaceful in the early morning.

Super fun and unique fountain for kiddos. A splash pad, essentially, and every 10 minutes or so, the giant faces spit water out to all the giggling children. The only think that kept it from 5-stars, was that there was little seating for the amount of people there on a July day, and there were areas near the seating that had standing water that had been there for some time. It was rank. Otherwise, a perfect place to cool off in the heat!

Was wonderful watching the kids anticipating the water in the hot sun.

Great spot to stop for a picture and a break from walking

Fun to watch the fountain in the Spring. Great place to cool off and relax in the summer.

Another amenity of the modern wonder of Illinois that is Millennium Park, it demonstrates why its meaningful to be seen and enjoy.

This fountain is great for kids of all ages that want to get wet. There is a mural projected on the walls that you an see spits out a large flow of water that the kids love to stand in front of. The howling at the anticipation of the water being spit out of the projection is hilarious. It was lovely to watch the kids run in and out of the fountain when it came on. The faces of the people on the fountain facade were animated and then the water spurted from their mouth. A relaxing place to watch kids at play in the water.

I should have taken my shoes off to play here for a while, but unfortunately I couldnt as there were time constraints. But would recommend spending time here to enjoy the cool breeze and play around the fountains. Kids will love this place :)Crown Fountain has been one of the most controversial of all the Millennium Park features.Before it was even built, some were concerned that the sculptures height violated the aesthetic tradition of the park.After construction, surveillance cameras were installed atop the fountain, which led to a public outcry (and their quick removal).However, the fountain has survived its contentious beginnings to find its way into Chicago pop culture.It is a popular subject for photographers and a common gathering place. While some of the videos displayed are of scenery, most attention has focused on its video clips of local residents.The fountain is a public play area and offers people an escape from summer heat, allowing children to frolic in the fountains water.(Some info sourced from Google, pictures and review are my own)

A great place to hang out on a hot summer day, kids will love it!

Very interesting art work and it is the new landmark of Chicago!

Very cool place to visit, but because it is the winter it isn’t ideal. Still enjoy the scenery, and monuments. Will look forward to come during the summer!

Nice place to chill with family or go on a date. Young 5 year olds love this place.

Wonderful collection of people and kids enjoying a fabulous Chicago attraction.

Pretty awesome monument/art using actual faces from Chicago people. Definitely unique and worth a few minutes to go check it out and watch a full cycle of faces and the fountain being on.

Quite a unique feature within Millenium Park it the Crown Fountain. See photos of ordinary people from Chicago and every so often they will blow you a “kiss” of water. Lots of space in the immediate area walk.

Such an interesting and unique experiance for a water fountain. And you can go and play around it and in it or you. An sit back and enjoy the scene ..at night there is a light show they do..super cool..does have a tiny bit of a pipe/egg smell when it comes to the water but is faint. Not all people detected the smell..so it is faint.

A Very Great Place for you & your family. Just remember to Bring Extra Clothes or swim wear & a towel. But Just Go & Have Fun

Joyful place to sit relax and contemplate te city’s art and architecture. This fountain keeps changing faces which springs water when their eyes are closed.

Fountain water operates from May to October, but still an interesting sight in the cold winter.

Great place for kids and adults, during the summer make sure to bring some extra clothes!!!
