 Crown Fountain , <unk> Fountain , and Buckingham Fountain , as well as natural water features such as Old <unk> , are examples of the ability of water to attract people and hold their attention . Crown Fountain has more interactivity than other Chicago fountains , such as Buckingham Fountain and <unk> Taft 's Fountain of the Great Lakes and Fountain of Time ( all but the last are in Grant Park ) . These other Chicago fountains are traditional in that they discourage viewer touching ; Buckingham Fountain is surrounded by a fence , and Taft 's fountains are surrounded by <unk> . In contrast , Crown Fountain provides an open invitation to play in the fountain 's water .
