The Wall of Water and the
Williams Tower

The Williams Wall of Water is located in the Galleria area of Uptown. In fact just locate the Williams Tower - the largest skyscaper in the Galleria area with the pyramid pointy top and you'll find the Wall of Water adjacent with a large lawn in front.

It's an impressive structure - I'm not quite sure why it's here - but it is impressive nevertheless!

Directions: Galleria / Transco area

Williams Water Wall

Scenic Water wall in the Galleria area. Very romantic spot, where many guys propose to their girlfriends. They always have horse carriages in the evenings if you want to take a romantic ride. And this is next to a park. It's a city landmark, most Houstonians have been here at least once! It was designed by local architects in 1985 and the wall of water drops thousands of gallons 64 feet every minute.

Daily 7am-10pm. Viewing the waterwall is FREE!

There's not much to add about the Waterwall except, on a hot Houston summer day, it's the coolest spot in town...at least of all places without air conditioning!!!

Down the end of a small park is the Water Wall. This is reported to be Houston's most photographed site. It is a striking U-shaped fountain which has water cascading down its inside and outside walls.

It was early morning when we were there and the light wasn't exactly right, but I'm sure it would be even lovelier later in the day.

Directions: At Williams Tower and just south of the Galleria.

Galleria mall is a major draw for both Houstonians and many visitors of the city. The mall has an ice rink inside and a collection of stores in mid to upper price bracket. Sadly, this pool is no more :(... - a victim to an ugly condo development.

Phone: (713) 622-0663.

Directions: Galleria / Transco area

The fountain is an engineering marvel standing 8 storeys high.. It is a semicircle with water falling down the sides.. On the inside, stand in the center that is marked clearly and you will feel like you are rising up, something out of a Star Wars movie even..

Williams Water Wall next to Transco Tower
Local landmark and favorite picture spot, the Transco fountain is a great place for a picnic during the day anda romantic spot during the evening: there are carraige rides nearby, but beware, everything closes and they shut off the fountain at 10pm. Watching the water being shut off is spectacular, so if you're there at night, stick around to see it.

Directions: 2800 S. Post Oak Boulevard (Galleria/Transco area)

This fountain, located next to the Transco Tower (whose current owner is rather unsuccessfully trying to call the Williams Tower), is one of the nicest places in the city, and another popular place for newlyweds' photos.
