Gateway Fountain

It’s a blast! Bring your kids to the heart of Houston for FREE cool summer play! Cool fountains of water shooting arcs of fun make this water park a must during Houston’s hot months. The Gateway Fountain is one of the most popular features in Discovery Green, and indeed, the entire city.

This fanciful fountain is one of the most popular features in Discovery Green, and indeed, the entire city. During Houston’s hot summer months, hundreds of children play daily in this perennial favorite “cool spot.” Lively jets create a joyful water park atop a gently sloping granite surface, with 14-foot high arcing jets.

Fountain hours: Open on Monday – Sunday from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Please note that the fountain is turned off if there is thunder or lightning.
