    Discover the enchanting Buckingham Fountain, a Chicago landmark that mesmerizes with captivating water displays. Operating every hour, the fountain's major show features a central jet soaring 150 feet high, creating a spectacular visual feast. The magic continues after dusk, as vibrant lights and music accompany each hourly display. While the fountain hibernates during winter, its grandeur is a sight to behold, offering a stunning winter backdrop.
