Buckingham Fountain

Cicero Travel Guide Buckingham Fountain is a magnificent landmark located in the suburb of Cicero, IL, just outside of Chicago. The fountain was built in 1927 as a gift to the city from wealthy businessman Kate Buckingham in honor of her brother Clarence. It was designed to resemble the famous Latona Fountain at the Palace of Versailles in France. The fountain boasts 133 jets that shoot water up to 150 feet in the air, making it one of the largest fountains in the world.

The historical significance of Buckingham Fountain lies in its role as a symbol of the city of Chicago. It has been a popular attraction for both tourists and locals since its construction, serving as a gathering place for concerts and events. In 2009, the fountain underwent a major renovation to enhance its beauty and preserve its history. Today, it remains a must-see destination for visitors to the Chicago area, offering stunning views of the city skyline and a peaceful atmosphere to relax and take in the splendor of the fountain.

Visitors to Buckingham Fountain can catch one of the many daily water and light shows that take place from April to October. The fountain's intricate design and grandeur make it a favorite spot for photo opportunities and a must-visit attraction for families and groups. Its historical and architectural significance make it a must-see for anyone looking to explore the rich history of the Chicago area. Whether it's daytime or nighttime, Buckingham Fountain is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who visit.
