The area
Neighbourhood: Downtown Dubai
You can’t fail to miss Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. It towers over the city and resides in the prestigious Downtown development. Once an old army base, Downtown is now the jewel in Dubai’s crown, a beautiful residential and leisure area housing not only the world’s tallest building, but the world’s largest fountains and mall. Wide marble sidewalks are perfect for strolling, with restaurants, art galleries and children’s play areas. Specially commissioned sculptures line the roads and Downtown is often used as a canvas for modern art displays and community events such as Classic Car Shows and National Day parades. In the cooler months, cross one of the many bridges to the Burj Khalifa park and enjoy a picnic alongside residents and visitors, or enjoy a lunch or dinner watch the dancing fountains. Because of its mixed use, Downtown is a fantastic place to mix with Dubai residents and locals and watch real life unfold in a cosmopolitan environment.

An amazing experience, it was next to an amazing mall, and food courts, with entertainment. After that we got to explore the rest of the nightlife.

Went during Ramadan so only on in the evening. Initially very busy at the first showing 19.30, if you want a better view and to see different productions and light shows on The Burj, hang around as people vanish after first couple of shows. Also a good idea to move vantage points as they look slightly different from different angles. The light shows on The Burj this year were amazing.

Watch the water spouts warble with the music. Really sways, rises and is a visual depiction of what you hear.

Do we need a ticket?

It's free. There is no requirement for a ticket and you can view the fountains from a number of different areas. It can also be viewed from viewing areas within Dubai mall but I recommend getting outside and viewing it from one of the outside areas

In normal circumstances the answer would be yes, But with the present climate around the world, not just Dubai, it changes on a daily/Hourly basis.
