Fort Myers, Florida - Waltzing Waters - Shell Factory

Waltzing Waters presents "Liquid Fireworks," a patented array of individually moving nozzles creating truly stunning effects. The waters jump, twist, sway and swirl in breathtaking movements that surpass those of human dancers. The world's most elaborate water, light and music production is a triumph of artistry and engineering.

The expertise of three generations comes with every Waltzing Waters show. Otto Przystawik invented the first musical fountains over 70 years ago, and the family tradition continues today.

Come and see our nightly displays here at The Shell Factory. The water dances with musical themes from rock to classical masterpieces to show tunes. All shows are unique -- you will never see the same show twice. [Joyc Joray, 02/07/2007]

[RA: We enjoyed a performance of the Waltzing Waters back when it was housed indoors (the smell of mildew is vivid in our memories). But it's true -- the water streams are manipulated through elaborate plumbing first devised in the 1930s.]

Huge replica of Sea Shell is displayed at the entrace to this attraction -- site also features a wild life park - water cars - restaurants and gift shops. Buy almost any type of shell ornament. [Bill Tomsick, 05/28/2001]
