Its an interesting spot to see what people can imagine as art. The water gives a cool breeze on a hot day. We stumbled across this attraction trying to get around terrible Galleria Mall traffic. People were dressed in beautiful wedding attire for photo shoots. Kids were running around. There is nothing else there but the wall if you drive... More

Very nice attraction in the middle of a hectic area. Nice respite. Nice misty breeze when we were there. Did not see in the evening but I imagine it would be impressive.

Had a brilliant time here, the Water Wall was far more than I expected - absolutely glorious! In addition, locals come at week-ends dressed up for special events like the stars in Hollywood. Absolutely delightful!

I haven't been here for a couple of years, but this place is magical at night. The wall is lit with very dramatic lighting, and it is quite stunning.

Cool to stand in the middle and feel the misty breeze. Stare at the wall as you try to stand still. It is a place we take out of town visitors.

This is one of those "must see" things in Houston! It is really a great water feature and there is a park like setting around it. The Galleria is really close by, also lots of great restaurants.

64 feet high, 11,000 gallons of water per minute, would make a great place to eat lunch right in the middle of the Galleria shopping area.

I wouldn't go back over and over, but it's something to see one time. It's nice when the weather is hot since it seems cooler and fresher there. Not a lot to say, but stop if you're in the Galleria area.

I lived in Houston for years and even remember when this was built. The fact that the developer had the foresight to dedicate such a large chunk of valuable land to public art is great and shows Houston's upscale lifestyle for all.
