Centennial Fountain and Water Arc

The Centennial Fountain and Water Arc is a true gem in Chicago. Walked to this fountain almost everyday because it was so close to our hotel. We were not always on time to see the show though. Several times a day during the Summer, the water cannon would shoot a beautiful arc of water into the Chicago River that would last about 10 minutes. It is very cool to view.
The Centennial Fountain itself is also awesome! Fantastic work of art! Great place to hangout, take in the Chicago River views, and wait for the next water cannon blast to take place! Truly relaxing!

Gord and I walked to Centennial Fountain yesterday morning.
Standing inside it provides a nice background.
We walked around to the river side of it.
It’s a very nice fountain and worth checking out!

Great water
grandchildren & I always try to go thru it on a hot summer day when we’re in my pontoon boat.

Found this jewel of a fountain and water gun from our helpful tour guide on our boat cruise. We waited until evening to go back to this park and were very glad that we did. Not a big tourist attraction but I’m glad, because it was fun to walk around the fountain and look at the architecture along the Chicago river.
The best moment though was when the water gun was set off and a pleasure boat was passing and they were not ready for it. They got soaked! hahaha.

The water arc made me laugh out loud with pleasure! I could not love it more if it spewed money, it is just perfect.
We were eating our dinner and saw it go off right after we sat down. Fun! We got some pictures and enjoyed its ten minutes. We ate dinner, wandered down the river walk and waited close by on a bench. Sure enough, 8:00 it went off again and the cool mist reached us. We laughed and danced around and then got a little farther away and took more pictures.
It’s summer so it’s going off every hour for ten minutes. Get yourself down there and see it and laugh and enjoy. Some of the boats will try to get through ahead of time, others watch the show. The only way to be sure is to be on the banks.
Water Arc = water love

We went by this fountain during our CAF river cruise. I had no idea it only went for the first 10 minutes, but the cascade of water was beautiful. Definitely a great place for some nice pictures.

so walking bac
