Chicago - Grant Park

The Grant Park and South Michigan Avenue area attracts millions of visitors annually with its world-famed cultural institutions and its architecture by Louis Sullivan and Daniel Burnham.

Grant Park extends eastward to Lake Michigan and south to the Field Museum of Natural History, 2 miles/3km away. Its central feature is the pink marble Buckingham Fountain (1927), a magnet for visitors. The fountain plays from May to September, and is illuminated in the evening.
