The Basics
The Dancing Fountains are free to visit and operate daily, with shows typically starting in the evening after sunset. Performances last around 15–20 minutes, showcasing a mix of music styles and artistic choreography. The viewing area around the lake provides plenty of space to sit, walk, or even grab a snack from nearby food stalls while enjoying the show.
Things to Know Before You Go
Arrive early to secure a good viewing spot, especially during peak tourist seasons. The area is family-friendly, but it’s best to keep an eye on small children near the water. Bring a light jacket or shawl if you’re visiting later in the evening, as the breeze from the lake can feel cool. If you want to take photos or videos, a tripod or steady hand will help capture the vibrant colors and motion.
How to Get There
The fountains are situated by Ardagani Lake, just a short walk from Batumi Boulevard and many central hotels. Taxis and local minibusses (marshrutkas) can also take you there. If you’re exploring the city on a bike or scooter, the location is easily accessible via the bike paths along the boulevard.
When to Get There
The Dancing Fountains are best experienced after dark when the light effects are most vivid. Shows usually begin around 9:00 PM and may run multiple times throughout the evening, especially in the summer months. Visiting on a clear night enhances the experience as you’ll enjoy an unobstructed view of the illuminated water jets.
