Visit Acacia Park on any summer day and you’ll see children of all ages at play in this downtown landmark. Inviting, whimsical, and somewhat unpredictable, like a waterfall. 

Seemingly a simple blue dome surrounded by water jets, this piece chimes to announce a surprise every quarter hour. The top rises ceremoniously 15 feet into the air to reveal a tuba playing musician and his pet monkey. After performing a short selection of original jazz works composed by Bob Tudor, Wilber slowly descends back into his hiding place at the base of the fountain.

Deigned by Bob and Kat Tudor. Mechanics engineered by the St. Louis-based Hydro Dramatics, construction done by Scenic Technologies in Las Vegas. The ceramic geological mosaic surrounding the fountain was designed and created by local artist Steve Wood.
