==Special features== ===Hydraulophones=== [[Image:Hydraulophone45hole-fluteOSC South Division of Pipe Organ.jpg|thumb|One of the features of the circular splash pad in front of the Ontario Science Centre is a [[hydraulophone]] flute with 45 finger holes. Here a [[hydraulist]] demonstrates hydraulophone technique.]] [[Hydraulophone]]s are the world's first musical instrument that makes music from vibrations in water. By pressing on jets of water laid out to a musical scale, hydraulophones make a unique sound. Hydraulophones have been installed in water parks, museums, and science centres around the world, including the [[Legoland California Resort]], [[Chicago Children's Museum]], and the [[Ontario Science Centre]] in [[Toronto]]. ===Heating=== At the splash fountain at Dundas Square in Toronto, Ontario, the water is heated by solar energy captured by special dark-colored granite slabs.{{citation needed|date=November 2023}}
