Well, the fountain experience is free so one cannot complain about value. I remember when the fountain first was built, back then the hourly show where the spinning outer walls of the fountain and the flames appearing to come out of the water accompanied by rousing classical music emanating from numerous speakers around the raised plaza seemed to attract hundreds of tourists and families who oohed and aahed like anything. I cannot remember exactly when it was built, but it must be close to 20 years now. Anyway, it was interesting to return there with my children now and, my, how it's changed. The light, fire and music show appears to be the same yet somehow it's all different too. I guess the difference is due to the fact that it is so relatively old now, the very show itself seems bored with itself!!! Apart from us, the most notable difference (to when I first visited the fountain) was the fact that there were only 12 other people in the whole plaza who came to watch the show. In fact, the most endearing thing was that 6 of these people were old age pensioners companionably sitting together on one of the semi-circular concrete benches singing traditional Israeli songs. They were very sweet. Clearly, they won't be there every time!! It's definitely worth making a visit to the fountain, after all, it's right next to the shopping mall and on interesting, buzzing Dizengoff Street, so you're bound to be there anyway. And it's a charming show, kind of quaint and old-fashioned. I have a horrible feeling it will be replaced with something considered more arty and trendy in the not too distant future - this would be a great shame - it's quite charming and endearing.
