Buckingham Fountain

If you watched an episode of Married With Children, you have been exposed to Chicago's Buckingham Fountain.

One of Chicago's most popular attractions and one of the largest fountains in the world, was featured in the opening credits along with Frank Sinatra's "Love and Marriage".

Located in Grant Park at Columbus Drive (301 East) and Congress Parkway (500 South) the 1.5 million gallon fountain produces a major water display and the center jet shoots 150 feet into the air. The fountain, that date back to 1927, runs from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm each day.
