A very interesting fountain, probably in the summer it makes an even greater impression.

Awesome little fountain with ten dancing mechanical sculptures. There was one that was frozen and we could of stayed there for hours watching them. Nice area and so much to see. Kids loves trying to figure them out. One was iced over which was interesting to watch.

Had a nice time here observing the mobile robot water fountain ! It’s so hot today that I felt like dip in the water, but no one else was doing it so I resisted! It cooled me off just by observing the fountains and hearing the fountain sounds 😊

The fountain is easy to locate and it’s next to the Theater. They are very artistic, impressive and always moving. Was easy to stand contemplating them and getting mesmerized by their ingenious designs. One can get close enough to take pictures of most of them. When it gets dark, the fountain gets lighted and the appearance is slightly different. It’s well worth visiting.

The Tinguely Fountain in Basel is a captivating masterpiece of kinetic art. Created by renowned Swiss artist Jean Tinguely, this fountain is a delightful fusion of sculpture and waterworks. Its collection of whimsical, mechanical sculptures come to life, splashing and whirring in choreographed chaos. Each piece is a testament to Tinguely's creativity and skill, celebrating the joy of movement and sound. Highly recommended free to enter attraction in Basel.

Just an amazing work 9f art. Also a great place to just sit, relax and enjoy

One of the attractiveness, my recommendation to see in Bern city🇨🇭

Fascinating little fountain. Fun to watch each of the characters play with the water in different ways. Perfect spot for a rest and a bag lunch.

Bring the kids. Fun place to visit.

Lovely mechanical water fountain, good place for relaxing after long walk around the city

🇨🇭 Beautiful mechanical scruptures, kind of intriguing. One of the famous place to visit in Basel.

Lovely city of Basel. All the water fountains were made from the remains of the old theatre that was previously there.

This is one of the most interesting fountain in Basel. The playful and whimsical fountain reminds me of the Stravinsky Fountain in Paris. The fountain illustrates all kinds of different ways to spray waters from the fountain.

Extremely interesting kinetic fountain. I think it is also an art installation.

A must visit in Basel! In winter, when they are frozen, they are especially exciting due to their spectacular ice formation 🥰

It's fun to watch sculptural machines moving with water. You have to visit if you visit Basel.

Tinguely fountain is best enjoyed when the sun is shining, yet we enjoyed it while it rained. Do not attempt to walk into the statue next to it, when we were there it resembled an open air toilet 😒.

Water sprinkler peaceful place. Best place for evenings. Love it. From basel train station to here by walk can possible.

Unique fountain in the center of Basel, my son loved it!

Nice and fun place to enjoy outside. You can bring your kids or pets, it will be fun for them every time.

I am sure it would be impressive if I had been able to park anywhere near the place! Traffic was insane for a country girl! The Theater is right next to it but the parking was closed.

Nice spot

Beautiful and quiet place, nice to visit for a while. Around the fountain is a theater where you can enjoy a drink, with warm weather definitely recommended!

Must see in Basel. A cool art fountain made of iron. Very nice place rest after enjoying the city sites or museum.

Wish I had one of my own Tinguely fountain.

What an entertaining and unique fountain! Plenty of space to sit and a chance to see the church steeple in the background. It’s certainly worthwhile to stop by and relax while watching the fountain parts move around. If you’re lucky, a duck may be on the fountain, leading to some hilarious happenings.

A cute fountain that use the removed pieces from renovating the art center to reuse as fountain pieces.

Absolutely beautiful fountain, watching every piece working hard to do it's part... 🤩 I've seen countless fountains but this one beats them all.

Nice fountain art installation with a bunch of useless but entertaining mechanical devices throwing water around and making funny noises. I suppose the artist's point was to reflect on how time flies steadily and humanity builds pointless stuff that precipitates our race into end-of-times oblivion, or some similarly deep insightful depressing BS, I don't know I'm an engineer not an artist please leave me alone

Very dynamic and creative spectacle of the elements of this fountain.

Incredible fountain near the city center of Basel. Try to give it a visit when temperatures dip well below zero Celsius, the sculptural and mechanical fountains completely transform!

Nice little spot! Bring a lunch and just sit around the fountain.

Easy to get lost in this sculpture for half an hour. There’s a description board written in three languages under the canopy area on the north side of the fountain where you can read more about each of the sculpture components. I’m sure you’ll find one you relate to!

A wonderful installation to relax and ponder water physics.

Very beautiful fountain! It has 10 individual machines that sprinkle water. It's truly mesmerising to observe them work, their only real purpose is to just be, they accomplish nothing but art and some do this in a simple way while others achieve this with more complex or intricate movements and assemblies.

Quirky fountain in the heart of the city. We started our Basel walking tour from this fountain and it was interesting to watch. This artistic fountain is made of metals which are made to look like they are playing with each other. It was a sunny day and the show surprised us with a little rainbow.

Must see… very co & special metalwork fountains, next to the Christmas market and Tram station

So fun and such a beautiful piece of artwork right in the heart of Basel!

Entertaining oeuvres on water. The fountain is located at the entrance of the city center, near restaurants, and the Elisabethenkirshe. On its side, there are benches for you to relax on and trees for shade from heated summer days. This place is family friendly.

Cool fountain made up of parts of the old theater that stood in this place. No it’s animated and squirts water and pieces move around. Beautiful

Unique idea, very nice fountain which is in motion!

Interesting water fountain where you could spend some time in the shadow of the threes.

The most unique fountain in Basel

A whimsical fountain in the middle of a square. Lots of places to sit and take in the atmosphere or just peoplewatch.

Great meeting spot. Took the walking tour. Best deal in Basel.

Loved it and the Tinguely Museum. Allow plenty of time to fully enjoy the museum experience. Some displays need longer between red and green lights to operate.

Very unique and interesting fountain

very relaxing place, it's a good spot to watch the water fountains and relax. We had a lovely time after walking around the places sit and relax and go on.

Passage agréable avec des enfants lors d'une visite de Bâle.

(Translated by Google) Yes, very playful and great fun for children and it doesn't cost anything. (Original) Ja, sehr verspielt und für Kinder ein großes Vergnügen und es kostet nichts.

(Translated by Google) Nice art installation. A place to linger in the middle of the city. (Original) Schöne Kunstinstalation. Ein Ort zum verweilen mitten in der City.

Sympathique fontaine animée ! J'ai essayé de lancer des pièces dans la passoire qui bouge mais raté...

It is somewhat interesting and highly original. Visit it if it's on your way

Lovely

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful fountain in motion, well worth the detour. (Original) Très belle fontaine en mouvement, vaut largement le détour.

(Translated by Google) interesting and worth seeing, (Original) imteressant und sehenswert,

Strange and fantasy

Ein super schöner Brunnen der sich im Winter durch Schnee und Eis zu skurrilen Formen und Gestalten verwandelt. Sehenswert für jeden ...

(Translated by Google) Like Tinguely Brunnen Basel 😁 (Original) Wie Tinguely Brunnen Basel 😁

Ein wunderschöner Brunnen, wie muss es dort im Sommer sein, wenn die Kids darin spielen und toben? Das will ich noch mal sehen...also im Sommer wieder nach Basel.

Interessanter Brunnen. Man kann sich drum herum auf die Steine setzen und dem Wasserspiel zugucken. Für Kinder ist das Wasserspiel ganz schön aber nichts, wobei man für eine längere Zeit zugucken kann. Nebendran befindet sich das Theater.

Very beautiful

Kids saylt so happily watching this gorgeous collection of fountains

Absolutely amazing and funny machine-sculptures made by great Swiss artist Tinguely. I would stare at them for hours!

A good place to sit down and talk or eat an ice cream. Right now though quite noisy, because of all the construction work at the theater (03.07.2020)

Carnival Fountain is made of iron and it's cool art and design. It's a nice spot to sit, relax and enjoy. After visiting the city and sites you can sit here and enjoy the beautiful fountain and people. There is nearby restaurant as well. It's a nice spot in the beautiful city of Basel.

Awesome place to chill a bit.

I would say it's an average place to just chill and relax. The fountains are a bit unusual and good to see once.

Jean Tinguely was a troubled genius and his works, museum and life are and were amazing. This fountain draws many visitors, but once you study the history of it and know what is being represented it's even more magical. It's just one more example of Jean’s legacy of tongue wagging irreverence!

It is build where the old theater once stood and using stuff from the old theater as moving decoration.

(Translated by Google) Very relaxing (Original) Sehr erholsam

Wonderful work of art that runs the whole year. Fantastic to see when covered in ice

This one is my number one public fountain. It is a real pleasure to watch the show it does and to try to identify the role of each piece. You should definetley visit it and spend some time here.

(Translated by Google) It was nice in Basel ... (Original) Scheeee wars in Basel...

(Translated by Google) A very nice place to stay. Whether alone or with friends, the gentle splashing of the fountain in summer has something relaxing. But also in winter a feast for the eyes, when the water is frozen and it is formed into unique sculptures. Just breathtaking! (Original) Ein sehr schöner Ort zum verweilen. Ob alleine oder mit Freunden, das sanfte plätschern des Brunnen im Sommer hat was entspannendes. Aber auch im Winter eine augenweide, wenn das Wasser ersteinmal gefroren ist und es zu einmaligen Skulpturen geformt wird. Einfach atemberaubend!

(Translated by Google) When it's not being cleaned and out of order, it looks great! (Original) Wenn er nicht gerade gereinigt wird und außer Betrieb, sieht er Klasse aus!

Fun place to spend some time just looking at this unusual fountain with moving sculptures.

The fountains are quite nice and are a great work of art. The downside is that the fountains are just for observation and not something that you can really interact with (unlike some art at the Tinguley Museum).
