Hiking

An interesting installation made of glass towers that show faces and keep spewing water out of their mouths. Children (and adults) can splash around in the pool between the towers and can cool down here during the summer heat.

Impressive fountains with two illuminated faces watching each other from behind the falling water.

Hiking

The Crown Fountain in Millennium Park, Chicago, is one of the city's most unique and interactive artworks. Designed by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa, the fountain consists of two 50-foot-tall glass towers, each with LED screens projecting the faces of Chicagoans. Between the towers is a shallow pool where children (and adults!) can play on warm days.
