There are many beautiful fountains in downtown Kansas City & except for a few (like River Market) they are within walking distance. We spent a Sunday afternoon downtown just walking around and looking at fountains & it was so much fun! There is also a small park with tables at Barney Allis Plaza if you want to pack a lunch and spend the day downtown.
There is a map of the downtown fountains available here.

Paddle Wheel at the Steamboat Arabia Museum
This is not technically a fountain but it does involve water and it is fun to watch. The paddle wheel is located in the atrium to the museum and can be viewed without paying admission. The atrium is only open during regular museum hours.(If you are reading in an e-mail or RSS feed, click here to see the video)
