“The Wroclaw Fountain at Pergola” offers a multimedia spectacle affecting several senses. Water jets 40 meters up creating a screen of seven hundred square meters, on which colored animations are displayed, accompanied by music and natural sounds of splash and patter.

The Wroclaw multimedia fountain is one of only several similar objects in the world. In the one hectare basin are installed almost 300 nozzles of different types: geysers, foggy, pointed, palm and also three fire nozzles. There are as well lasers and music. Almost 800 small and big sources of light are placed in the basin. Additional attraction is the winter function of the fountain. In can be turned into a 4700 square meter big ice rink. Till the end of October you may admire the fountain everyday between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. After 8 p.m. water fantasies are accompanied with magnificent illumination. At each full hour the fountain displays a dynamic show, using almost all nozzles and geysers creating unique impression:
-at even hours – fifteen minute long set to classical or modern music rhythms
-at odd hours – three minute long set Richard Wagner and Vanessa May music.
-at 9 p.m. and 10 p.m - a special quarter of an hour long show is given, employing almost full fountain potential

The whole area around Centennial Hall is great. Recommend for a walk during a day.

Show usually starts after sunset around 20:30. And are worth seeing while staying in Wroclaw.
However, after few minutes you realize that it's only water and lights (sometimes fire) that you were able to see 20 years ago on other places around.

Really nice place to come and see the shows of light, music and fountains in sync. Especially worth it for the special shows, if you can plan with their schedule. Fun thing to incorporate into your evening walk in the summer.

Most beautiful light show I have ever seen. Stunning nighttime shows perfectly timed with music. On Saturday nights they project animations on the water to create beautiful scenes. If you are visiting Wroclaw this is 10/10 the best attraction. Also the best attraction I have been to in the whole of poland.

A great fountain. All guests of Wroclaw suggest in the evening to listen to music and watch. With the kids on a hot day to put it on perfectly

Cool show. Definitely worth to see if U haven't seen anything like it before. Specially attractive at evenings/ nights. Lights, music and hipnotising water. Beautiful.

Very cool experience and free of cost. Bathrooms cost I think 5 zloty but there is a change machine by the door. A few places to grab drinks and snacks. I recommend going to the last show of the night because it is a bit too bright outside to really enjoy the lights during the day.
