Houston WaterWall

by ClogginKitty at Citysearch

My fiancee was highly disappointed last night on Valentines Day. He had it all planned out to give me my engagement ring there since he took me there on our first date to Houston. Why would they turn the lights off at night when its in its most beautiful state?? Is the water still turned on?

Why, why, just why do they have to change the operating hours

by willyman0282 at Citysearch

For anyone who has lived in Houston, he/she will know at 6 P.M. the sun is still way up there in the sky. The water wall is at it's most beautiful sight during the evening when all the lights are on and in contrast to the night sky. Why would anyone turn the water wall off by 6 P.M., now when I drive pass it after dark, it's just that, pitch dark. I just want to say: " nice way of using your brain, idiot."

Great Wedding Proposal Site!!!

by sniperpig37 at Citysearch

This worked out like a charm!! I parked in the adjacent parking lot, and my fiance and I walked towards the water tower since she said she's never been to it. We were supposed to meet some friends for dinner, and I said it would be an easy short cut to go through there. Anyway, we stopped in the middle, with the water falling all around us, and started with a kiss. I told her to look up at the water falling, and at that moment, I dropped to one knee. Once she looked down at me proposing, she abolutely flipped! Be prepared for waterworks, and not just from the water wall!!!

Extrememly romantic setting! Best of luck to anyone else who proposes there!

• Pros: great setting
• Cons: you'll get some drizzle on you

This towering landmark dominates the Galleria skyline and its glistening Water Wall enthralls visitors.

The View
Architect Philip Johnson envisioned a structure that would cut through the ceiling of Houston smog. His creation, a striking, neo-deco tower of power, penetrates the urban sprawl with a soaring, 64-story upward thrust. It's one of the tallest suburban office buildings in the world. Capping the tower is a 7,000-watt revolving light that cuts through the humid night sky like a searchlight beam in Gotham City.

The Appeal
Equally impressive is the nearby Water Wall, a shimmering man-made feature that sends thousands of gallons of water hypnotically cascading down its slick rock surface into a pool below.

I was married in front of the Water Wall...

by dianellen at Citysearch

my husband and I went on our first "date" on a picnic at the Water Wall. Almost 3 years to the day we were married standing under the center arch in front of the wall. It was a romantic and beautiful spot for a wedding and our pictures were beautiful. Only negative part is that you need a permit to get married there and they charge $250.00 for it. I guess nothing is free these days and I woould pay it again for the use of such a beautiful special memory. We still go there often for picnics and it's always fun and if you get hot just walk up to the wall to cool off!

• Pros: Relaxing, Free Parking Garage, Safe
• Cons: Security Guards

Great view

The waterwall is beautiful, I had only driven past it until my husband took me there on a date. It is calming and relaxing. I think it would be a great place to picnic someday.

The Best

by rainydayz at Citysearch

The Williams Tower and Water Wall Is the best place to go for a good family fun day. Or to go with that special someone. The best time is to go at night when the lights accent the water and make it sparkle. The night time make it very memorable.

• Pros: Free, Fun, Nice Scenery
• Cons: Parking, Gets Crowded, Construction
