A beautiful place and day for snapping some photos. It is very busy on the weekends, especially when the cherry blossoms are blooming on campus.

Was cleaner than I remember. Probably because it was graduation day. Always fun to jump in and swim around post cleaning. If you are on UW campus make sure you go!

Beautiful photo opportunities are available here. Just be mindful that you will be surrounded by students trying to get from class to class, so dont get in our way. Thanks!

Its a giant fountain with an amazing view of Mt Rainier on a clear day. Whats not to like? There are some benches surrounding the fountain to sit and take in the views. Part of the beautiful UW Seattle campus, so theres more than just the fountain to see here.

The fountain was big, wish I had seen it working! The rose garden around the fountain was beautiful, and so many of the roses were amazingly fragrant. It was like tiptoeing through a fairy garden. The jasmine at the top of the fountain square smelled the very best however.

Picturesque place to take pictures of Mt. Rainier or to sit on a nice day. Rose gardens surround this fountain, with lots of benches, and a ledge around the fountain to sit on.

One of the best views on the whole campus, especially when you can see Mt Rainier (not in this photo, but from another angle). I highly recommend making a stop here if you are on campus or just wandering around!

Review №22

Unfortunately the fountain wasnt running, it the view of Mount Rainier was spectacular as it often is on a clear winter day, the other direction the magnificent buildings of UW set a wonderful counterpoint to the lake and mountain.

I did not know that the fountain is called Drumheller until now. Anyway, you can easily get the best view from here, with a mountain back.

I visit here every March, dressed up in my favorite blue dress, to take pictures with the fountain and the cherry blossoms. This year the fountain was on, and it was beautiful! And since it is on one of the crests of a hill, you also get a great view!

Historic fountain on the beautiful University of Washington Campus. Provides great backdrop of Mt. Rainier on clear days.

I believe that this fountain is a peaceful place to gather your thoughts with a awesome view of Mt. Rainier in the background. Grate place for the family to go and see. Grate place for a late night stop when on a date if the fountain is lit up, it is not always lit up though so plan for the worst but prey for the best if you decide to go at night. Now I would have put it as five stars Buti didnt cause the fountain is not like up on a regular schedule.

Review №31

I like the place a lot, it is beautiful whether the fountain is turned on or not. Sometimes ducks fill the pond, seagulls come as well. Wonderful especially when Mt Ranier is not covered with clouds. Selfies are awesome here.

Breathtaking sight...so peaceful enough to see on a Saturday afternoon a fountain in the middle of a compound with prehistoric buildings. Definitely bring your camera...itll be worthwhile.

One of the best views on campus! On a clear day you can see Mt. Ranier - which in combo with the rose bushes and fountain make for an incredible sight!

Drumheller Fountain is a great place to relax and watch the ducks and fish. On clear days, it has one of the best views of Munt Rainier on campus. In the Spring, flowers around Drumheller Fountain enhance its beauty. Bring your lunch and relax for a little while.

Review №51

Amazing view of Mount Rainier on clear days, adorable ducklings during spring and summer. Gorgeous rose garden surrounding the fountain, blooms throughout a lot of the year as far as Ive seen. Eight benches around the edges are great places to sit and eat lunch.Sometimes ducks and geese will sleep here at night once the fountain has been turned off. Its pretty cute.

Beautiful fountain

Review №53

Picturesque view of Mt. Rainier, this fountain is one of the most beautiful parts of the University of Washington campus. Try to go on a clear day or in the mornings, you wont be disappointed. During spring and summer it is really cute to see the duck ramp! My only qualm is that the actual fountain is not on as much as it should be.
