The musical fountain plays a pivotal role in enhancing the tourism of Kuwait. It is situated on the first ring road in Kuwait city, and is easily accessible by the tourist from any parts of the city. The musical fountain is very adjacent to the ice skating rink. The rink is somewhat bigger; there is also a smaller one, which can be used by the women and kids. The musical fountain got damaged badly during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait. The fountain was later repaired and its beauty was restored. It is located in the green belt area of the country. On 3 pools, there are 220 fountains. Some of the other excitements at the fountain are the children games and the exhilarating restaurant.
