The Bucket Fountain is an iconic kinetic sculpture in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. It is located in Cuba Mall, which is part of Cuba Street. It consists of a series of "buckets" that fill with water until they tip, spilling their load into the buckets and pool below. The fountain was designed by Graham Allardice of Burren and Keen and erected in 1969. It is very similar to a fountain erected in Liverpool in 1967 designed by Richard Huws. People often add dishwashing detergent to the water, which spreads bubbles all over the mall. This is common on Friday and Saturday nights.

- A Bucket Fountain é uma fonte na Cuba Street, em Wellington, Nova Zelândia. É constituída por uma série de "baldes", que se enchem de água até deixarem cair a água para os baldes em baixo. A fonte foi desenhada por Burren e Keen em 1969. A fonte não funciona como deveria, pois por vezes a água, em vez de cair para os baldes em baixo, se espalha para fora da fonte. Em dias ventosos (comuns em Wellington) a água pode espalhar-se vários metros para for ada fonte. (pt)

| - The Bucket Fountain is an iconic kinetic sculpture in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. It is located in Cuba Mall, which is part of Cuba Street. It consists of a series of "buckets" that fill with water until they tip, spilling their load into the buckets and pool below. The fountain was designed by Graham Allardice of Burren and Keen and erected in 1969. It is very similar to a fountain erected in Liverpool in 1967 designed by Richard Huws. Much of the water does not reach the buckets below, but instead splashes onto pedestrians and onlookers. On windy days (common in Wellington) water is carried several metres from the fountain. People often add dishwashing detergent to the water, which spreads bubbles all over the mall. This is common on Friday and Saturday nights. Wellington City Council upgraded the fountain in 2003, and some buckets were turned around so they intentionally tip their water onto the pavement. (en)

La gente suele añadir líquido lavavajillas al agua, que extiende las burbujas por todo el centro comercial. Esto es común verlo los viernes y sábados por la noche. (es)
