Gateway Fountains

"Get ready to get wet! This fountain is hard to resist. Kids of all ages (even parents) play in this fountain, and it's a great way to cool off in the summer months.
A large stone version of the snowflake logo from the 2002 Winter Olympics forms the shape of a ground-level fountain, which features shooting jets of water synchronized to the Olympic theme and other music. The 'water dance' goes off every 30 minutes, for 10 minutes at a stretch, though the times in between are just as much fun. On very sunny days, you can see a rainbow through the jets of water.

You'll find plenty of space to sit (and stay dry), and you can also check out the nearby Wall of Honor, which lists the 27,000 volunteers from the 2002 Winter Olympics"

When the water dance goes off, you get drenched!!!!!
Other times, it's just little squirts here and there!

My kids love this place. 
It is a favorite place to visit for us in the summer.
