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.

One of the world’s tallest fountains, the incredible man-made geyser in Fountain Park sends a 560-foot jet stream high up into the mountainous skyline.

Pack picnic lunches to enjoy by the water and make the entire day free of charge.
You can even see the fountain all the way from Sunrise Trail in McDowell Sonoran Preserve! This just goes to show how impressive it truly is.

If you decide to add the Sunrise Trail hike to your visit, it’s about 3.8 miles long.
It's hard to capture the full majesty of this massive waterspout - it's something you simply have to see in person to understand how epic the experience is.
