This Arizona Fountain Is The Coolest Thing You’ll Ever See For Free

Summer is fast-approaching, which means it’s time to start planning family activities that don’t break the bank. At nearly 600 feet high, this majestic fountain just outside of Scottsdale definitely belongs on your bucket list. It’s taller than Niagara Falls and many other world-famous attractions, plus there’s a surrounding park with picnic tables, a playground, and scenic hiking trails.
