Buckingham Fountain - Specializing in Points of Interest
The Fountain is one of the largest in the world. It was dedicated in 1927 and is constructed in gorgeous Georgia pink marble. The fountain at night has soft lighting that enchants its visitors.
The Buckingham Fountain runs from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily and typically from April to mid-October.
Every hour, on the hour, the Fountain spurts out water 150 feet in the air and creates a beatiful display for 20 minutes. The final water display in the evening begins at 10 p.m.
