Nice spot in the Millennium Park, fun for children and families. Changing faces fountains is an original idea to add to the image of the city. Extremely crowded and noisy on weekends. Full review by Noraatc

Q:
We will be visiting Chicago from Oct 31 to Nov 3 - will the fountains water features operate during this time frame??
A:
The fountain's water feature operates from mid-spring thru' till mid-fall... so I guess it just depends on the weather in any particular year. Mid-fall is so ambiguous!!
