13 15 16 1 Grant Park Urbs in Horto is Chicago s motto, City in a Garden. Although that may be hard to see in the face of so much new urban development, Chicago has a remarkable park system with more than,000 acres of downtown public green space. Grant Park is Chicago s largest and most well-used space. Its 220 acres were designed according to architect Daniel Burnham s 19 plan for Chicago and were inspired by the gardens at Versailles. Its grassy lawns host legions of picnickers, sunbathers, and the occasional protest or celebration, including President Barack Obama s 2008 Acceptance Speech, concerts such as the annual Lollapalooza Festival, and annual City festivals including Chicago Blues Fest and the Taste of Chicago. Buckingham Fountain is the park s centerpiece and one of Chicago s most well-loved icons. At 1.5 million gallons with 150-tall jets, it is twice as large as its inspiration, Versailles Latona Fountain. From April through October it shoots every hour on the hour. In the evening, colored lights and music make it even more magical. Shedd Aquarium Included Extra Present your Chicago Explorer Pass at the will call window.
