The fountain makes a great display of colours, with music going through several genres and decades. A nice thing to see if you're around and have time, but not necessarily something to detour for. Given the location I expected the music show to be more classical than pop! More

The magic fountain certainly lives up to it's name. It is impressive close-up and from faraway.

Unfortunately it poured rain while we were at the Magic Fountain display but it almost made it all the more fun!! Umbrellas were being sold so everyone seemed to be standing around with umbrellas dancing to the different songs and the colourful fountain lighting the place up. More

Love this fountain. We take all our visitors to the magic fountain. Even in the rain it's a good night's out. Fun watching people as well as the spectacle. More

If you are staying within walking distance ten it is ok to go and see the short light and water display with bad music but otherwise not worth travelling to. More
