Focus on Waters

With everything from interactive fountains to a stories-high geyser, the new World’s Fair Park contains some of the most innovative and exciting water features to be found anywhere around. Echoing the wide variety of natural waters in our area, the man-made lakes, streams and cascading waterfalls add visual interest, auditory pleasure, and important focal points to an impressive and highly functional landscape design.

The interactive fountain located in World's Fair Park operates seasonally for the enjoyment of visitors to the park.  The fountain operates from March 15th through the end of October.  During the months of April through September, operating hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 9:30 p.m., and from noon until 9:30 p.m. on Sunday.  In March and October, the hours of operation are from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m.  The fountain closes for winterization in November until it reopens in mid-March.

On rare occasions, the fountain is used as a photographic backdrop and users may be asked to vacate the area.  However, this is usually for a very short period of time and as soon as the photographs are taken the fountain reopens. 

The fountain is a very complex water feature that sometimes requires it be shut down for maintenance.  While we try to keep this down time to a minimum, we have experienced mechanical issues with the pumps that make this necessary.

We hope you enjoy the Court of Flags Fountain and the many other features of the Park.  We only ask that you play safely and help us keep World's Fair Park clean.
