Fountains at WaterWalk

Tourist attraction

😐 Lights only happen at 10 from my experience. It was nice but disappointing that the lights only happen from 10-10:05. People often mention show, fountains, lights, fountain, water,

    The lights and fountains were so much fun! The kids loved getting splashed by the water on the west side of the fountains! I only gave two stars because the grass and brush/bushes around the fountains are so overgrown that it was tough to sit on a blanket or in our folding chair to watch and enjoy the show. The big grassy area just east of the fountains is also overgrown and full of stickers.

    Drove clear across town to watch this great show i had read so much about and waited as the count down started 5 minutes to start etc. Then show started..NO LIGHTS. Just water spraying in air in the dark to music. What a disappointment.

    I thought these fountains were supposed to be lit with colorful lights and run for 15 minutes but it only lasted 5 minutes and no lights colored or otherwise. Disappointed.

    Took in the 9pm show...lights & music were present. I wouldn't mind if the show was a little longer! The noise from the generators of the nearby food trucks (which looked really good by the way!) was a little distracting but could be worse. Overall an enjoyable experience!

    I feel it would be good if managed well. No info on when it starts really. We came before 8 but never started till 8:20 also. If it is random, I doubt people will wait 2hours to get surprised.. disappointed..!

    I love the nighttime displays! Do beautiful. Great spot for a walk with your date.

  • 5/5 Monica R. 1 year ago on Google
    The fountains are always beautiful! I love the added park benches around the water fountain. Great place to take the family. I recommend checking the times of each show, and arriving about 15 to 20 minutes early. The fountains are beautiful even between shows.

    As of Oct 20, 2023, the fountain show looks to be downgraded to a very simple fountain viewing. We were expecting the colorful show as in some of the pictures but were disappointed.

  • 4/5 Leandra W. 7 months ago on Google
    some of the lights were out and only some of the fountains were working. Still cool though

  • 3/5 Jessica B. 7 months ago on Google
    The fountains were running but the shows did not play for whatever reason they were temporarily down. We still had fun

  • 1/5 Ronnah R. 7 months ago on Google
    The fountain itself was beautiful. However, I went to see the show and it never happened. I got there at 8:15 and stayed until 9:30ish. And nothing. Sadly disappointed as I've never seen a dancing fountain and wanted to.

    Went at 9:30 and waited till 10:20pm, there was no light show at the fountain. Very disappointed we were visiting from Dallas and had planned to spend extra time there just for the show. But the great initiative by the town to have a fountain with a light show.

    Visited on a Sunday at 8:50 and waited to about 9:30 and nothing happened... we did see a cute bunny running on the grass tho

  • 5/5 Steph M. 9 months ago on Google
    We love going to see the lights and water choreography. BRING A TOWEL because it's a lot of fun to stand by the fence and get splashed! I think the music plays for about 10 minutes, but I've never paid close attention to the ending time. We go to the 8 and 9pm ones. 10pm is a little late for our young ones, but I think they do go at 10. I believe it's Thursday through Sunday from spring to fall, but you'd want to verify that before making a special trip out.

    Can’t believe the city chose to build this instead of the water canal

  • 3/5 Janell H. 1 year ago on Google
    Chuncky Monkey food truck wasn't there πŸ˜₯ so we left. Starting to rain anyway.

  • 5/5 Ken H. 4 years ago on Google
    Each hour is a different show. Pretty awesome

  • 5/5 Anthony W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very impressive fountains and lights. I will definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 RARC 1 year ago on Google
    Chill place - different music for fountains. I went at 8pm and 10pm. Love the mist as well with this πŸ”₯ weather.
