Warsaw by night #3: Multimedia Fountain Park- the legend of Bazilisk.

Multimedia Fountain Park in Warsaw is an enchanting place worth visiting while sightseeing the Old Town. In case you are wondering, the attraction is not only for kids, it dazzles the toughest and hypnotizes the imaginative ones. Just like the famous fountains in Barcelona or Las Vegas, the Multimedia Park Fountains gathers crowds for the daylighting performance of water, light and sound.

Each season the fountain water “dances” to different choreography synchronized with light laser effects and music. The previous seasons featured music of our national classical genius Chopin, unique sounds from Jean Michel Jarre and surprisingly Lady Gaga. This season, organisers decided to make something even more spectacular. They created a water curtain in order to incorporate a laser screening of the legend of Bazilisk into the water dancing show. The visual overall effect - amazing!

The Fountain is situated on the Vistula river bank near the Old Town. From May till September, On Friday and Saturday evenings at 9:30 p.m. (9:00 p.m. in September) you can watch the magical multimedia spectacle of water, light and sound. Check the schedule on the website here.

The Multimedia Fountain Park consists of a main fountain, in a “S” shape, two line fountains and a children one. During the show there are 367 nozzles streaming with water lit by almost 300 LED colorful reflectors. The Park was open on May 7th 2011 to celebrate 125th anniversary of Warsaw’s Municipal Water and Sewerage Company. Nearby, you can spot a statue of a man who designed and launched Warsaw’s sewerage network in 1886, Mr. William Heerlein Lindley.

The fountain complex consists of:
• The main fountain of 2200 m2.
• 2 line fountains of 600 m2 altogether.
• Children's fountain of 140 m2.
• 367 water jets (including 227 digitally controlled ones), jetting simultaneously even 30,000 liters of water per minute.
• 295 LED RGB lights. Each of them provides 16 million possible colors.
• Sprayed water screen used to display images and animations.
