Insider tips

Daytime shows run at 11:00, 13:00, 15:00 and 17:00 (water only); the 20:00 show adds lights and music.
Bring a change of clothes and a towel — children get soaked in the jets.
The gates are locked at night, so don't plan to linger past 23:00.
It is a two-minute walk from Jaffa Gate, so it works as the wind-down after an Old City afternoon.
The visitor centre only opens in the afternoons, Sunday to Thursday.
