However, the Salmon Street Springs Fountain is always a lively spot, with a crowd of people gathered around. The exciting water display is caused by jets that send tall streams of water shooting into the air, where the crash towards one another in the center of the fountain. These crashes create enjoyable mists of water that spray out into the crowds.
This fountain is described as a “guessing” fountain, meaning the fountain seems to tease visitors as to when it will spray, and what pattern it will create. It is a thrilling and exciting water feature, that is thoroughly enjoyed by young and old alike!
