Oh man, this fountain is a fantastic place to visit. If you find yourself in Seattle, you must stop here for a breather.First off, yes children and adults can cool off in this water fountain. It also plays music, and the streams of water pulse to the sound of the music, creating a wonderful relaxing environment for those sitting on the sidelines. A must see on any vacation.

I love that the fountain is also a splash pad! We found it very peaceful just sitting and watching the water. A great break from a busy day!

The current International Fountain is the replacement for the original fountain from The Worlds Fair in 1962. Back then, the area inside the fountain basin was filled in with white painted boulders. The fountain itself was a dome, with fire nozzles sticking out of it. Kids would try to get as close as they could, or even on the dome without getting hit by the water cannons. It was great fun! Come visit, check it out!

Beautiful Dancing water. Good for kids. They love to play with water.

Its really beautiful right now all of the autumn leafs making a nice color contrast. I do have to say though at around8 pm its even better because less people are there and its dark jus the music the fountain listening to the water splash while ️very tranquil

Pretty, super pretty! Nice spot to hang out

Its a nice place to go and visit but covid 19 and the Eastern Washington wildfires have turned it into an unpleasant experience. Homelessness is a very sad thing to experience as well as to see other people going through it. It is with my own experience and others to stand together and help the Homeless and not judge or hate those going through this tough time and enjoy the Seattle center once again!

Great place to kick it, let your kids play in the water or just sit and write. Free wifi in Seattle center so if you gotta do a zoom call but dont want to be stuck inside. Hit it up!

Beautiful fountain in Seattle Center. The water shoots out indifferent patterns according the the music thats playing in a 360 around the whole fountain. There are children playing down by the fountain having fun running away from the water as it chases them.

The amazing fountain under sun !!! It is very relaxing to watch this fountain dance to the music being played at Seattle Center.

Fantastic place to sit and enjoy watching children playing around the fountain or to stare at the beautiful Space Needle. On a sunny day its magical. Is one of the best photo op locations that speaks Seattle.

One of the cooler wonders of Seattle! Great in a hot day fun for the kids and lots of neat stuff to see. Dont forget the space needle!

Still a great show after all these years. My kids loved it

Near the Space Needle is this Huge fountain with numerous water jets spraying fantastic volumes of water in somewhat consistent areas but occasionally in other areas and you can play in this water or just watch others play. The kids had a great time and so did we. One word of caution. The bowl that this fountain sits within borders on being slightly too steep for a wet area. I saw one person slip and almost fall and many kids were sliding down these slopes for fun. You can easily walk down these slopes, just do so carefully. This is a great place to visit numerous times.

That’s really famous place , a water fountain based on music , really nice

Beautiful foundation to soak in on a hot summer day. Just next to space needle, chihuly glass garden and museum. Plays music when the water turns on

People were practicing social distances and area was neat with families enjoying the dsy

Beautiful and there was plenty of space for everyone to stay 6ft apart.

What a wonderful, family friendly park. My husband and I stumbled upon it and are so glad we did! Lots of green space and the fountain was such fun and not only kids enjoyed it

I love it! Especially great with a small kid. Also: Open in Corona times.

Nice fountain. It looks like UFO! haha

I wish they announced their schedules when the synchronized music comes out.

Nice music in the park and lots of people kicked back enjoying themselves. Its fascinating to see this fountain synchronize to three music that comes out off the speakers around it. Quite the comedy watching people ruin under the water with cameras to take pictures and trying bit to get wet. Be sure to visit the nearby restaurants.

Was pretty nice but around area is under construction

It was so pretty took some good pics

We live in Arizona but every summer when we head to WA for the cooler weather, the International Fountain is high on the priority list of things to do. It’s a great place to enjoy the weather and cool off if needed. The music in sync with the water makes it even better experience for the kids and the unpredictability of the larger sprays makes it all the more fun.

Great people, clean and safe and fun, also awesome music.

To wet for my liking 0stars#b0ss

How cool and unusual is this fountain!Cant wait to see it in the spring/summer time!Had a chance to enjoy it while preparing for the Hot chocolate run ! :)

Really nice place to enjoy the sun.

Lots of fun and looks amazing. It has lots of cool area for all of your friends to go visit and see or read.

Great site to stop and people watch children enjoying the water splashing. Restful walking park area in between catching the train into Seattle proper to view Space Needle, Chihuly Museum, Museum of Pop, etc.

It was really cool. Must check it out, very relaxing.

Kids love playing in the water. Kinda sucks when there are homeless around only because they try to talk to the kids :( other than that, love it

Its huge terrifying fountain in s good sense. My kid loves to run in circles around the fountain each time we are at that area. Its kinda fun to run under the water pouring above you and to guess, what chunk will start push the water.

Really cool place. My kids especially loved it.

Great place to take kids on a hot day. Lots of people gather and watching/playing in the fountain

A lovely place to enjoy with the family. As it is the Space-Needle Tower is a great attractions of all the tourists.

Great place to relax and observe the beautiful scenery

Near most sites..do visit the sculpture park and aquarium . Will get a good view of the waterfront

Its a great place for kids. Had loads of fun with my son

I was just wandering around in Seattle killing time before catching an evening flight and sat at this fountain for over an hour. The music and the fountain (not very much in sync to be honest ) was so pleasing and refreshing. I see a lots of families along with kids having fun playing in the water.

Awesome spot to hang out. The water is synchronized to the music which is cool to watch. Always a good and happy time!

Its relaxing walking around this beautiful fountain.

I mean theres not a lot to say about a fountain but its actually a pretty awesome spot! An awesome social space in the middle of the park and in walking distance to a lot of other cool attractions. The fountain is pretty big too and designed in a way to encourage people to hang out down at the base of the bowl. I grabbed a coffee from the nearby Armory and just sat by the edge and watched the water display and little music shows. And this was a late February day, not some hot summer day but the fountain still had a good amount of visitors. A neat social space indeed.

Fun spot to visit at Seattle center especially for nice & sunny days. Can get crowded in the summer but I like to walk through on the way to Queen anne. Sometimes you can watch the fountain do a short, water show with a song which is exciting..

Nice park and fountain. There was a Hawaiian cultural festival going on that day and there were a lot of cool food trucks around.

I went there to fly my drone.I actually forgot how cool it really was,and Im lucky the park is here to enjoy

Great place, cider, beer, and wine. 8 ciders, 4 always stay, 2 are seasonal, 2 change out frequently depending on their popularity. There is always a blond beer & a stout, and they always have some kind of IPA and Amber, tho those 2 change out for other ipas or reds or Saisons. Theres a house red wine & a house white wine and seasonally theyll do hot cider.

Its a magical place to bring kids

We come to this fountain everyday. Love the variety of music as it changes every few weeks. People love to gather here and test their chances of touching the fountain without getting splashed.

I love how the fountain goes to the beat of the music they play

Well mentioned nice park for walking, cycling and relaxing place for sitting and watching the beautiful fountain

Large fountain near the space needle and Fisher Pavillion. Nice place to relax and watch the kids chase the water spouts.

Awesome during covid... no crowds

Nice place

It is a biiiig fountain where kids wet themselves, adults rest/chill out. Scooter lover kids find the park very professional there is a view of the Space Needle. I just didnt like the music because I like the sound of silence. From there, youcan take your kids to the playground at the Popart Museum and ride the Monorail.

This fountain is awesome. It plays to music and is also a great spot to hang out or bring the pups.

Great place to relax and walk. Enjoyable for kids as well as adults.

A large fountain that syncs to music...and youre more than welcome to run right through it. It was a huge hit for children and young couples with a youthful spirit. Its close to the Space Needle, Chihuly Gardens, and the Pacific Science Center...plenty of green space in the surrounding area to take in the sites and lounge.

ALOHA...!!! A most beautiful Fountain. Open to the Public and visitors can enjoy music and even play in the water. Visitors are very respectful and area is very clean.

Pretty, but seemed like it was running at about 60% when I was there.

It is my local park great place to people watch

A pleasant mixture of weirdos, families, and a water fountain.

Cool fountain. Great to sit for a few minutes and relax. Kids can walk right up and play in the water if they so choose

The day I came, the weather was beautiful, which I think is a rarity for Seattle. In any case, since it was a beautiful day, I think this spot came off to me as so wonderful. I wonder why more people dont talk about this fountain. The water shoots out in sync with music that they play.

Very cool area to hang out and people watch. Grab a cup of coffee from the armory and head this direction. The fountain is awesome and moves to music!

A local favorite in the warmer months. Great place to people watch, enjoy the weather, the musical fountain. Grab a bite to eat or a drink in the Armory and sit out here and get your vitamin D intake, under the watch of the Space Needle.

Loved it! People are allowed to go under the fountain to get wet. Its fun to watch kids and dogs enjoy here.

A great place for the kids to cool off. Plus its a cool looking fountain.

Fun, beautiful, scenic and great park with fountain. Lots of room at park. Many things you can do.

Seattle Center Rocks. It’s such a great place to bring friends and family for an afternoon. The remodeled Space Needle now has plexiglass floors throughout and is really a fun experience. The Seattle Center grounds are full of fun things to see and do. The big musical fountain in the center of the grounds is and has always been awesome. The old armory building is now a food court with great food and beer. They have a Mod Pizza which is really terrific, Blue Water Taco, Starbucks, and other things for families to do. There’s also the Pacific Science Center, the Chihuly Glass Museum, and numerous other interests.

Nice Seattle landmark by Key Arena and Space Needle.

Beautiful fountain in the middle of the Seattle Center. Great place for families to hang out on a pretty day. There is a variety of music playing along with the fountain.

Its a relaxing place to go and fun to see.

It was a beautiful day. My daughter had to get wet. It was nice to sit and just watch. Great place for lunch or to met up and chat. We had a great day

Sit back relax enjoy the view and music.

The fountain is really huge. I felt the sound and the view combination was very calming.

Its a fountain but its pretty cool and you can relax near it. Theres a bit of music. The water changes so its fun for children to play by. Pets must be on a leash. The construction site next to it can be very loud if they are working.

Always fun to visit on a sunny day. Great surrounding areas. Highly recommended for families with children.

Somewhat fun for the kids to run around. Quite crowded on sunny weekend.

Nice place to cool down in summer

Amazing place too come relax and enjoy a water show. Theres music playing and the fountain reacts diffrent to each song that comes on. Theres tons of benches and a walk path where u can try to walk down and arround the fountain with out getting rest. Theres about a minuit between each song for some quiet time and no water works and then it starts up again. Great place to come enjoy and spend time gazing on the Space needle while ur here! Definetly come check it out!

Awesome spot to bring out of town guests with kids! Super fun when it’s warm.

Beautiful fountain, water synced to music, very cool place

My kids love it so much.

I think that this is an achievement in and of itself. Whoever the architect is surely proud of Himself/Herself.

Cool fountain

Lovely to sit and watch. Everybody enjoyed the last bits of summer sun

Crazy fun safe place for all!

Beautiful fountain. We enjoyed watching it and it was a nice area to visit to. We were watching kids around in the fountain. They said the phone was kind of Freezing I hope you come to this place as you will like it. Thank you for looking at my review and I hope you have a great day.

Amazing place to sit down, have a picnic with friends or love ones.. just to relax and lay down... there are concerts and other activities that happen there. The Space Needle is around 100 meters from there

Great places for kids to play

Free to the public. Great place to take a walk. Close to the waterfront. Fresh air and great view.

Beautiful scenery and a great place to go to on a hot summer day!

The kids always love to play here. Theres always some sort of crowd and the atmosphere is always so great for all ages

He International Fountain is in the centre of the Seattle Center. The fountain was designed in 1962 for the World Fair held in Seattle. It was reviewed and revised into its present form in 1995.The water spurting from the fountain reacts to the music and the children (and some parents) get a bit (or quite a lot) wet as the music plays and the water changes direction.Spending just a few minutes here is wonderful fun and really relaxing. We sat and enjoyed it for 30 minutes. Even we got wet as a light mist reaches the benches beyond the fountains compound where we are sitting.

Were so lucky in Seattle to have something as special as the international fountain found in the heart of the Seattle Center, during Festival season they have the fountain with light effects and spraying to the sounds of Music in the background, its also so much fun to play around in the spray and cool off on a hot sunny day definitely a sight to see!

Fun place to people watch and enjoy some music. They werent doing the orchestrated fountain dance to music last time we were there!

This is the best fountain I have ever been two. The synchronisation of the music to the fountain is impressive. I could sit at this fountain all day and not be bored. And if youre hot, just run in and get drenched! Great for kids, and couple dates. Bring lunch, and have a break.
