Welcome to The Fountain! Rocking chairs surround this lovely feature of this fun tourist area.
The Fountain is a state-of-the-art, multi-tiered show fountain featuring a spectacular presentation of water dance and light, all perfectly choreographed to 14 pieces of music. More than 89 nozzles help to create the show’s performance. You’ll even get to see a nozzle located in the center of the fountain that projects water 60 feet into the air. This multimillion dollar water fixture was designed and built by a company which is the same company that designed and built the world famous fountain in Las Vegas. Be sure to watch the show at night to see an array of color added to the presentation.
The show is free for all guests to enjoy.
The Fountain performs approximately every 30 minutes beginning at the top of each hour and on the half hour from 10 am to 11:30 pm. In between the shows, the fountains shoot up and down over and over. It’s a sight that will put you in a trance. It is recommended that you try and time your visit for one of these free shows. Each show lasts for the duration of two songs. Lining The Fountain are a large number of rocking chairs that guests can sit in to relax while enjoying the show. You can also enjoy the fountain show by sitting in the additional rocking chairs in the breezeway or while eating at certain restaurants.
Directions: The place where this virtual resides is located directly off the main Parkway in Pigeon Forge between lights 3 & 4 at Island Drive.
Parking: Parking for the place in Pigeon Forge is free in marked lots. The main parking lot is located in between attraction and the LeConte Events Center. Guests who park here can take a complimentary tram from the lot to the location where the virtual resides.

I recommend you park in the main parking lot listed above and ride the tram in as there is limited parking on the location where the virtual resides.
