Wichita Fountains
Though Wichita (and Kansas, for that matter) is landlocked, there's no shortage of water in our city. In addition to the big and little Arkansas Rivers, some great lakes for fishing, and several splash parks and places to cool down, Wichita also has several notable water fountains. Check them out below!
Bradley Fair Fountain
One of Wichita's most prominent water fountains, the fountain at Bradley Fair sits between Newport Grill and Healing Waters.
Central Community Church Fountain
This fountain can be seen in front of Central Community Church on west Maple.
Felipe's Fountain
Felipe's Mexican Restaurant located at 119th and Maple in west Wichita sits right in front of a lake with this fountain. The fountain can be seen from the restaurant's patio and from some seats inside.
New Market Square Fountain
Located in New Market Square at 21st and Maize Road, this fountain can be found on a lake behind Granite City and Olive Garden.
Century II Fountain
This fountain is one of many that sit in front of Century II. Located on the north side of the building, this fountain can easily be seen driving down Douglas.
Century II Fountains
These fountains are also in front of Century II, and can be seen from Douglas. They're located on the northwest side of the building. They're surrounded by lots of benches and shady trees, making them a great place to beat the heat!
Waterfalls at Century II
Take just a few more steps northwest of Century II, and you'll find this seating area surrounded with waterfalls! This area is a few steps below the other fountains, so it's not as visible if you're just driving by.
Garvey Center Kiva Mall Stepped Fountain
This fountain can be found at the Garvey Center downtown. This part of the Fountain feeds into a larger area with a statue in the middle.
Garvey Center Kiva Mall
This sculpture, by Tom Montemurro, is the centerpiece to the Garvey Center Kiva Mall fountains.
Fountains at WaterWalk
The fountains at WaterWalk are very unique. Located in Downtown Wichita in front of Gander Mountain, these fountains put on a "Waltzing Waters" show on Thursday through Sunday nights! Take a look at the video of the show below!
"Waltzing Waters" Show at the WaterWalk
Each Thursday through Sunday at noon, the fountains at the WaterWalk put on a "Waltzing Waters" show that brings together water, lights and music for an unforgettable show.
The fountains have over 1,200 custom designed nozzles, and the shows are choreographed by hand. The fountains are 110 feet long, and they operate on 27,000 horsepower, allowing them to pump more than 22,000 gallons of water per minute.
The show varies throughout the week and weekend, so come check it out!
